Okay, so I recently burned my arm quite severely on a tray out of the oven. I ran it under cold water from about half an hour but it still boiled and burst. Its started to scab over now but its still quite sore and is very hot to touch..
My question is how can I prevent scarring? Its in a very noticable place on my wrist and I really don't want scarring to occur..
Thank you for your help!
I haven't tried this but my aromatherapy teacher swears by it: lavender essential oil. Make sure it's the pure essential oil though and only use a little bit.
ReplyDeleteBit of info on this site I found:
LAVENDER OIL (Lavandula off.)
The essential oil of lavender is one of the only essential oils that can safely be applied to the skin without diluting it in a carrier oil. Applying lavender oil will take the sting out of the burn, and heal it quickly. It’s calming aromatherapy properties will help to ease the emotional upset of a painful burn.
In Aromatherapy: A Complete Guide to the Healing Art (Crossing Press), herbalist Mindy Green combines the essential oil of lavender with aloe to create a soothing preparation for sunburn relief.
