Apply cool running water for 20mins and a clean non-adherent dressing or clingfilm afterwards. Covering a partial thickness burn (2nd deg) limits exposure of nerves to air reducing pain. In any situation this is the simplest and most effective 1st aid. All the rest is either impractical, superfluous, costly or even dangerous or counterproductive. None of the additions here are proven in studies. Don' put anything extra on burns except the dressing. Provide pain relief. Keep it simple.

We found vinegar baths work wonders on burns. I like to add some lavender essential oil in too which is soothing. Once out of the bath, we use lanolin cream (found in the baby isle.) It allows the wound to breath but heal nicely which yields less scars than neosporin and heals faster. Must test in small area to make sure you're not allergic. Then we cover with non-stick pads and sterile gauze. If you're a parent you'll find that lanolin cream is awesome for most owies!

secondary infections are really common whenever the skin is broken. I would use Mycostatin, Nilstat, Nystat-Rx, Nystex, O-V Staticin or Clotrimazole (Lotrimin) creams and lotions can be applied to superficial skin infections. Oral Rx Diflucan may also aid in healing and treatment. Thanks, Nurse Amy

You guys are so wonderful for doing these videos for us. Thank you so much. I have a question; 2nd and 3rd degree burn victims often get thrush, (I was burned years ago and got it) what can you do about this in a shtf situation? Thank you again.

Thank you. What about allowing the wound to go without a bandage when you are home resting?
