I tried the egg whites remedy today for somewhat severe burns to my fingertips. I had been holding ice to them for 20 - 30 minutes, but the pain was still killing me. Tried one hour of soaking in egg white then allowing to dry and cake on my fingers. The pain was gone after an hour, and the blisters that were forming first completely stopped forming, and then subsided. Am using those fingers now to type, and that was just this morning, less than 12 hours ago.

My girlfriend spilled a over hot cup of black coffee that she had placed in the microwave for 2 minutes, the coffee spilled down her shirt and burned the middle of her breasts and unto the breast, the first thing she did was grab ice, I did not realize how bad the burn was. She started crying, when I finally convinced her to let me look at it, it was awful.

I ran to the computer and keyed bad burn, this site came up and there were a few different solutions, I looked at the largest YEA and found the egg white solution. I cracked about 4 eggs had her lay down and poured them on the burns, within 5 minutes, she told me that if felt much better. So now I am telling you EGG WHITES are the trick for the burn. She is just now going to bed, with dried eggwhite on her breast and chest and seriously she couldnt be happier. Thank you so much!

Egg whites work wonderful for soothing a painful burn and help speed the healing process. Egg whites mixed in a baking soda paste is good too.

Last week I was in the kitchen draining noodles and lost my grip on the pot. I poured the still boiling noodles all over my right hand. I screamed and immediately let cold water run over it for about a minute and a half. I didn't know what to do for burns so I got some organic aloe vera gel out of the fridge and poured it over my hand which was very red and very painful. I put the gel in a bowl and kept my hand in it for about 5 minutes, but everytime I would lift my hand out, the horrible pain would return. My husband ran to the computer to see what the top cures were for burns. EGGWHITES. He cracked and seperated about six or seven cold egg whites into a bowl, and I put my burning hand it that instead. It felt immediately better! By this time, my hand was swelling a little and still very red and painful. I left my hand in the eggwhite mixture from eight pm to eleven pm, keeping my hand coated. By that time the pain was pretty much gone. I was tired and didnt want to sleep with my hand in the egg white bowl, so I coated my hand in the eggwhites and let it dry on my hand like a glove. I did that over and over til I had about three or four coats of dried egg whites on my hand, and then went to sleep like that. By morning I didnt know what to expect to see unter the egg white glove. I went to the bathroom to wash it off carefully. As all the egg whites disolved under the water, I quickly realized, there was no pain, no redness, no swelling and no scarring of any kind!!!! I use my right hand for everything for work and for making jewelry. This cure was a Godsend! Thank you earthclinic!!!!! God bless each of you who keeps this website up and running. My family loves you from the bottom of our hearts. I always tell everyone I know about you. They are believers too. Keep up the amazing work! Jennifer

I got a burn on my arm from taking some food out of the oven. I tired using ice to relieve the pain but it is very short term. I looked on Earth Clinic and found egg whites, so I slightly beat the egg white, applied to the burn and put a small piece of paper towel over to hold egg whites to the skin. Surprisingly, the pain went away. After it dried, it came off the burn and I began to feel pain again, so I reapplied the egg white.

The next day I began applying Vit. E oil several times a day and it healed with no scar, just very light skin. Once spring came around the light area tanned and it's not noticeable anymore.

Egg whites for burns - a big yes! Anyone who cooks regularly will get a little burn every so often. While for most people a little burn will heal in a week or two, when I get a burn it will take about a year to heal, even for a slight burn.

I put egg white on a burn I got about a month ago. Within days it was healed with no mark. I was excited, but I thought maybe it was because it was a very minor burn. I felt I needed to try the cure again to be sure. Well I didn't do it on purpose, but a few weeks later, I got not one, but two burns from my wok, one day after the other. The burns were more substantial. The first burn mark is now completely healed a week after I got it. The scab on the second is starting to flake off, and I see that the skin is normal underneath. This is amazing, considering that I still have a mark from a similar burn from my wok that I got about 8 months ago! I will no longer go around with burn scars all the time!!

I've always wondered why my skin doesn't heal normally in the first place. It's not just burns, but cuts too. They do eventually heal, but take months instead of days. If anyone has any insight, I'd love to hear it. Thanks all!

Try the egg whites on your next burn. It not only helped me heal but took the pain away. And watch out for rogue woks!

EGG WHITES CURED THE BURNS ON MY FACE IN MINUTES> I had lazer hair removal done on my face. I failed to mention that I had started hydrogen peroxide therapy to the technician before the treatment. This intensified the effects of the lazer on my skin. I kept ice on the burns for 7 hours and it was still burning badly. I got on EC and decided to try the eggwhite remedy. I soaked the eggwhite in papertowel and applied the papertowel to my face. Instantly the pain subsided. I fell asleep for an hour and woke up to no pain and no visible signs of ever having the burns. It was a miracle for me. Thank you earthclinic.

I have to strongly disagree as well. I wanted to pour boiling water in my warm bottle and pour it over my fingers, it hurts so badly i put myfingers under the water with no relief at all, screaming to my husband to crack an egg and pour the egg white in a bowl. My nail start to peel, that was a bit scary. The moment i put my fingers in it, i had such a relief, nothing to compare with water. I left my fingers there for an hour, i was really scared to take them out, i thought it was going to blister anyway. I kept reading what else i could do, and decided to put aluminum foil over them. This morning no sign whatsoever that something happens. Amazing, i'm glad for the tip. Thank you

Tom, have to disagree with your warning. Not long ago I spilled boiling/scalding water on my fingers. Really sore. Ran cold water over them for a minute or so while I tried to think/remember what to do. Pain was awful and I could see the fingers beginning to swell. I remembered the egg white solution. My fingers felt like they were being bitten by about 50 piranhas at this point. I separated the yoke from the white of one egg and put the white into a bowl and put my fingers into the cold -eggs were in 'fridge- egg white. Instant relief, and within minutes my fingers were getting their normal color back and the swelling went way down. I then soaked up the egg whites in a paper towel and wrapped that around my fingers and left that on for a few hours more. By evening there was no pain, no swelling everything was perfect. I know I would have had a very different outcome if I had not used the white of the egg.

Peace

Warning

Placing egg whites on a burn is dangerous. Cold water will cool a burn quick. Egg whites will hold the heat in and continue the burning. It can also cause an infection if the skin is broken. Run the burn under cold water and seek medical attention.
