Earlier in the week I accidentally poured a whole pot of boiling water on my stomach.

You should see this bitch. It looks like a big red and purple birthmark. Its like 6 inches long and an inch wide, rite on my lower stomach.

I have an aloe plant so I've been putting that on it.

Do you think its gonna scar???

I will seriously jump off a bridge if it does.


What do I do?

Oh, and its starting to get really itchy.

There are a BUNCH of products over-the-shelf that you can buy at your local Walmart.

However, a scare is the result of your body repairing it's cells so fast that they can't completely duplicate the tissue that was there originally. I'm not sure these products really work.

SureThing said:

I like your av.

You should see a doctor, st! Or at the very least talk to your pharmacist!

How did the spaghetti turn out?

I bought a bikini today anyways.

the aloe with help it go away. Aloe and vitamin E work well with the aftermath of burns. You may have a slight scar once the burn is done healing, but if you keep moisturizing everyday, it will disappear, too.

Unless you have some crazy 3rd or 4th degree burn, you should be able to wear a bikini without anyone really noticing once it's healed.

Thanks!

No, its not that bad, the aloe really helped a lot.

SureThing said:

as said above, aloe works, and vit.E too
for your skin's conditioning sake, cocoa butter or shea butter will help very nicely as well, but use those both as treatments after the burn heals a bit...

Thanks Sammi!

I realize that now. I put lotion on by accident after the shower and it burned like a mother.

SureThing said:

yeeeeeah, no oilbased products on burn within the first week!

SammiJ said:

I do have to say YAYYY for aloe plants though.

I've always hated the stupid ugly thing, but never had the heart to throw it out.

So I keep it out in my kids playroom so I don't have to really look at it.

But it really came in handy.

My mom once burned herself badly draining pasta. She went to the emergency room and they provided a medicated creme for the burn. It really was amazing and healed the area without any scare or mark. Your burn sounds bad,you should have gotten some medical attention.

Go see a doctor.

If it was 2nd degree burns it might be permanent, get it checked.

Emu oil with a touch of lavender and rosemary essential oils in it
