  • Answer:

    None of those. The ideal cream is silvadene (silver sulfadiazine). If not available, use antibiotic ointment like Neosporin and keep covered. your goal is to prevent infection until the skin heals.

vaseline works the best, it protects it good. it also heals a bit

Depends on how deep the burn is? Silvadene is the choice of drug- prescription only. Over the counter: bactroban or neosporin.

You put honey on a burn? What the hell??? Use aloe vera or neosporin. If you have access to an aloe plant, break off a leaf - it's rather fleshy - and then break the leaf in two. It will ooze a liquid. That liquid has very good healing properties. Slather it over your wound. The neosporin comes in a tube. Use it like any ointment.

Depends on the nature of the burn! Since you're asking through this forum I'll assume that it's a--relatively speaking--mild burn, not resulting in breaking of the skin. Start with cold water! Run it for a while, or soak your burn spot in it. You might also try a topical pain reliever (read the directions to make sure that it's not contraindicated for a burn!) to help relieve pain, as well as take a pain reliever like ibuprofen or acetominophen. And do a Google search for burn treatment and get a more extensive answer!

Silvadene (it may be prescription only).

Do not put butter on it as that can cause infection. Try putting triple antibiotic on it. If it is a severe burn, see your doctor.
