SEVERE BURN TREATMENT
06/13/2007: Lucas from Columbia, Missouri writes: "About a month ago i burned my arm with a hot glue gun. This burn was pretty severe and it still has not gone away. I realize that i will probably have a pretty big scar but as of right now it looks horrible. it is darker than the rest of my skin and it's kinda wrinkled but it dosen't look like a scar. It also looks transparent and glossy. Im just wondering what i should do so if you have an answer please reply to this message. Thanks Lucas"
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Usually if the burns are fresh, or new, aloe vera will heal the burns pretty quickly, such as aloe vera oil with a couple of drops of lavender oil. Hospitals burns section uses vaseline gauze, but an easy one is vaseline mixed with 5% zinc oxide. This zinc oxide thing is not known in hospitals, but it does reduce the infection and irritations. It has worked very well for me. If the scars are already there, the best thing is to use some iodine and rubbed on the skin (cotton balls) to remove the scars. Actually I prefer colorless iodine made from sodium iodide or potassium iodide. When done everyday the scars get removed.
If it is a tough case, then a 50% DMSO solution rubbed several times a day with a white towel. Maybe, but haven't tried, it an iodine added may help removal. In the future I believe a vaseline, peppermint oil, some aloe oil 1%, zinc oxide is the ideal mixture, but those are a bit harder to find! Vaseline is what allows the wounds to heal without the infection."

RESTORING SKIN AROUND OLD BURN
09/12/2006: Natalia writes: "hi my name natalia. i am from rep. of georgia. i have burn on my leg since i was 3 years. I am in holistic massage therapy. My instractor told me about this web.i would like to know if you can help me with my burn. thanks, natalia."
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Dear Natalia: An old leg burn is difficult to treat, however you can slowly removed them with a mixture of DMSO and water. Depending on your skin sensitivity, the more the DMSO and less water the better. Start with a 50% DMSO and water first. Then rubbing in area of the scar, it will remove very slowly. However, modern laser technology can remove the unsightly scars quite fast."
