What should you do when your child touches a hot light bulb and gets burned?
cold water is the best/only first aid when you burn yourself – 20 minutes under the tap and no less. NEVER ice OR vinegar OR milk OR butter OR green tea OR mustard OR toothpaste OR sunscreen OR semen OR vaseline OR tomatoes OR vanilla extract OR yogurt OR sour cream OR egg white OR egg yellow OR lavender oil OR cocoa butter OR salt OR tea bags OR potato OR shaving cream OR olive oil OR baking soda OR banana peel OR petroleum jelly OR whipped cream OR avocado OR bacon grease OR corn starch OR turmeric OR lemon juice OR curd OR pickle juice OR soy sauce OR urine OR talcum powder OR mashed strawberries OR exfoliating scrub OR mayonnaise OR peroxide OR bleach OR deep heat OR ketchup OR red grapes OR hairspray- not until the skin is fully healed!
ibuprofen or aspirin will help but large burns are often accompanied by stomach ulcers, so tylenol/panadol is best for pain if you are gonna tough it out. drink plenty of water or energy drinks that don’t have caffeine (gatorade)
i would advise that you cover the burnt area with white soft paraffin (white petroleum) or aqueous cream bp. (check the links below and see if you can find a local equivalent). wash the burn and reapply every 4-6 hours – cover with cling wrap if you wish to cover with clothes – this will stop your clothes getting covered with paraffin and maintains the burn.
cling wrap alone is also ok if you can’t get hold of any paraffin. it acts as a protective artificial skin – helping retain moisture and protect from further damage and pain. cling wrap is cheap and clean off the roll. in Australia ambulances often use this when someone has been burnt. – please note that cling wrap isn’t always practical, like on your face.
aloe is good coz it remoisturises but that moisture can be quickly lost as the skin can’t contain fluids. so put aloe on, and then the paraffin on over the top. if there is broken skin leave out the aloe – just paraffin.

email if you still have questions – send photos feedingthedogcustard@hotmail.com
finally if you are really worried go to a hospital that has a burns unit or plastic surgeons. serious sunburn i.e. blisters (and all other burns) should be seen by a burns trained doctor or nurse.

In order to escape the wrath of gangland chief Spats Colombo (George Raft), the boys, in dr… |

In the role that made her a star (and showed the audience a little more skin than she intended), Sharon Stone plays the cleverly manipulative novelist Catherine Tra… |

Sliver [VHS] $6.95 After her success with Basic Instinct, Sharon Stone opted for familiar territory with this campfest that purports to be a sexualized thriller about voyeurism but in reality is more of an excuse to get Stone and costar William Baldwin out of their clothes.
