The Egg White Remedy for Burns

Back in the 80's I foolishly opened my truck radiator cap. The fluid burst up hitting the hood and came down on my right arm. Burning me from shoulder to wrist with second degree burns. We found a hose and began rinsing my arm. A friend sent his daughter into a nearby store and had her buy 1/2 dz eggs. As the skin on my arm was literally sliding off he applied the whites and the pain stopped. I applied egg whites for several days afterwards. My arm completely healed without a single scar.

Egg whites really work. My mother was moving a corning ware dish with boiling water in it and the handle came off. Boiling water all over my leg. I whipped the jeans off (pain, pain, pain), my mother quickly broke some eggs, took the whites, and covered the large red burned area. Later there was still some red but 90% was clear. Thank you mom...and egg whites.

Due to an accident in which I spilled scalding hot water on tender skin on the underside of my wrists and was in terrible pain, I used egg white. Please note that the skin was not broken. First, I ran cool water over my wrists for 30 minutes, which took a lot of the initial heat out. However, unless I kept icy compresses on my wrists the pain was extreme and my wrists were still bright red. Even homeopathic cantharsis did not reduce the pain or redness. I decided to try egg whites, applied with a cotton swab. Pain was reduced to a tolerable level and redness diminished.

I did this several times, rinsing egg white off with cool water and reapplying egg white and allowing time for it to dry. With every application of egg white the pain diminished more and the color finally went to pink instead of red.

At this level of discomfort, I was able to sleep. When I woke the next morning the pain was totally gone. The area still remained somewhat pink, but there was no blistering and I was able to function completely normally. After coming home from work, I applied more egg white and did so again this morning. I'm writing this 48 hours after the injury and am still pain free, but the burn is still pink. There was also some swelling initially, which is gone this morning.

Hi, I suggest you get a manuka honey bandage from the burn section of the pharmacy for that right away. I had 2nd degree burn on the side of my arm from boiling soup exploding out of a blender lid a few years ago and wasted critical days trying other remedies for a large burn blister that ended up popping when I peeled off a bandaid (not good, delays the healing). The manuka bandaid was immediately soothing and incredible effective. I tried raw honey a few days before buying the bandaids but it was too messy and kept seeping out of the sides. Good luck, I know how painful it is!

I had the opportunity to test out a natural burn remedy. I was pulling a very hot dish out of the oven with a damp rag because it was handy. I know better. The heat went through that damp towel fast and a burned my hand. I was in a hurry (thus the foolish potholder alternative) and didn't want to go get the healing salve or lavender. I just kept cooking. I had a raw onion sitting thought that might help. I rubbed it on the burn. Nope.

Next I was cracking eggs and I recalled reading about egg whites for burns here at Earth Clinic. I quickly wiped some of the white onto the burn and carried on. I let it dry.

Sure enough, it stopped the pain! I don't know the chemistry behind it but it worked.

VERY IMPORTANT FOR YOU OR YOUR LOVED ONES.

I had the unpleasant experience of being burned to the second degree in my face and even my eyes by boiling water. Fortunately, my wife remembered having heard about egg white as the best cure. Indeed it was. She applied many coats of egg white all over my face immediately after the accident. In all she applied at least 20 coats, leaving each coat to dry for a few minutes. It creates a second skin that cuts 100% of the pain in a minute, so much that I was able to sleep the night it happened.

That new egg white skin contains an amazing amount of natural important vitamins. A friend also told her to give me abundant doses of vitamin C, D3, and E. I took at least 20,000 mg of Vitamin C per day, devided in 2000 to 3000 mg every hour. I didn't mind taking it at night. I had the best surprise after less then 5 days, to see my face completely healed, although I had lost the original skin. It was amazing, not even a single scar. My face skin looked even better than before as it's brand new. All my friends couldn't believe their eyes how fast it healed. I lost only 3 days of work. I have to mention that we went to the doctor, but only after I was healed just to double check if everything was ok. He said he wouldn't have done better and he even took note of what we did. Don't ever forget that amazing natural cure that can save pain and problem for you or your loved ones.

Burned my little finger on my hand quite thoroughly. Here in Mexico Melipona Honey (from stingless bees) is predominant (over Manuka). This is an awesome remedy, BUT for quick relief, Egg Whites are the thing!!

After burning two fingers with hot water!, I first tried 1 Egg White!! This took the pain away, instantly! 10 mins later I used melipona honey over the area, wrapped it - and now, 2hrs later, its like it never happened! No bumps, no bruises, no injured areas! Its like it never even happened.

This was a bad one though, so I had to soak the burned area for, like, 10 whole minutes!!

Thanks. I suffered severe burnt on my left hand from a powerbank that I modified to last longer than designed. Based on ur advice, I dipped my hand in cold water for about 70 minutes then broke an egg removed the white I used tissue paper to apply the raw egg gel several layers and now the already swollen hand returned normal within 7 hours. It was like magic. Along the way I took paracetamol. Thanks for ur advise.

Last night I scalded my left wrist with steam from a boiling kettle, the pain was excruciating, then I remembered the egg white trick I saw on the net . A few minutes after the egg white was administered there was only the slightest discomfort.

By this morning I had completely forgotten the incident. Then I noticed a few small blisters but a few hours later they all but one disappeared.

There is redness on the skin but no pain. I had similar burns before, but never have they healed so quickly.

This is absolutely true.. I had grease burn on left hand.. Used the egg white method, pulled the heat right out, never blistered, no scarring!

I once was trying to light my cigarette (I know not healthy) and it was windy outside I thought I was using my regular lighter but picked up a torch lighter and ended up burning the inside of my hand that was right next to my thumb and forefinger and boyyyy did it hurt. I remember running into the kitchen grabbing 2 eggs separating the yolk from the egg whites and taking a paper towel and soaking them in the white and placing it right on my hand . I then got a zip lock and put some ice cubes in and a dry hand towel and wrapped the bag of ice and placed in on the paper towel to keep the egg whites cold on the burn had to reapply after 20 mins and then after about another 15 the pain was completely gone. It was red but no longer hurt.. I run to this remedy now whenever I accidentally burn myself.and the best thing yet I never got a burn blister or a scar...

I used egg whites on a sunburn a few years back. I used a blush brush and brushed it on several times creating a layered effect. The egg white completely took the burn out of the skin and I was no longer in pain. It works great and I'll always use it for every burn from now on.

I got a hot water burn on my hand. Treated with THC Honey and essential oils, which were all great and very soothing.

On day 3 small blisters showed up anyways; they were small and painless, but blisters can be a real problem. So I put 1 nice cold egg white on it. I would dunk my hand, then pull it out and let it dry and did this for 4 coats of egg white. I covered with more honey over that, wrapped in loose gauze overnight, and now the next day, no blisters and it feels great! Thanks, Earth Clinic!

Happy healing, everybody.

I just wanted to add that the reason I had to put egg whites on a 3-day old burn is that I did not realize how bad the burn was. The discolourization and striations in skin tone were fascinating to me. I even noted that the burn did not extend down to the folds of my knuckle when my thumb is bent.

Y'see, I found the discolour striations and small blisters fascinating because I did not know how bad that burn was! Unpasteurized honey (preferably Manuka, but I only had THC Honey), along with neem oil & castor oil meant I never experienced any pain! I think it was the worst (deepest), yet painless burn I have ever had. Here it is day 5, and I presently dunking my hand again in egg whites as one of the blisters is trying to come up again. Update: the egg white took it down, again!

I poured boiled hot water on my hand. It was really bad. I remember some where I read about egg white. So, I used egg white all over my hand and wrapped it with a piece of cloths. First it was burning for a while, then stopped. Next day there was no sign of burn.

Gina, Moore, Ok, 2/09/2017, I have always been an old fashioned lady with home remedies, this eggwhites thing really works, my grandson 2 pushed his 1 year old sister into my oil heater and burned almost her whole are on the left side, I didn't realize how bad till started blistering, put Neosporin on it and cotton pads, for about 20 minutes then thought about the egg white solution, broke two egg whites in bowl mixed lightly and let run down her arm for about 20 minutes, got on this site to see how to wrap so she wouldn't bother it, so put few more layer of egg whites and wrapped in saran wrap, she finally went to sleep, woke up couple of hours later removed saran wrap, and put gauze soaked in cold egg white on and rewrapped in saran wrap and will be repeating before she goes to bed, but will probably wrap in ace bandage so can breathe, thanks for all the help and I give a great big YEAH for egg whites, God Bless

This is the first time that I have ever posted to a site like this, but I felt that I had to share my story. Last night my husband was cooking dinner and when he opened the oven door, my 19 month old son touched the oven. His poor little fingers blistered up and he began screaming. I put aloe vera on it, and he finally cried himself to sleep. I thought that I was going to have to take him to the doctor, but after reading the suggestions on this site, I decided that I had nothing to lose. While he was sleeping, I soaked paper towels in egg whites and placed it over the burns and wrapped it with an ace bandage. When he woke up this morning, there is no trace of a burn on his hand. I am totally amazed..... thank all of you so much for your posts.

Oh my goodness! I found this site last week for a DIFFERENT ailment. Last night I was microwaving potatoes (to have a baked potatoe faster than normal). The microwave is on top of my fridge. They were in, on high, for about 10 minutes. I pulled out the bowl to add more water and spilled the water down my left arm. INTENSE PAIN!!!!! WORSE THAN HAVING MY 10 LB. BOY 13 YEARS AGO!!!!! After holding freeze pops on my arm for about an hour I finally remembered this site. I was VERY SKEPTICAL. I only had 2 eggs. Very carefully, I used my pointer finger and put a thin layer on the burns which covered about 75% of my lower arm. Instant relief. I tried to lay down but they dried and the pain came back. I took 1 paper towel and soaked it in my only 2 egg whites. I covered the burn, wrapped it in saran wrap and went to bed. This morning there are NO RED MARKS, NO PAIN, IT'S LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED!!!!! I am shocked and so VERY VERY VERY THANKFUL FOR THIS WEB SITE! I LOVE ALL OF YOU! PLEASE DON'T STOP SHAING YOUR HOME REMEDIES!!!!!
