Burns how do I help with the recovery?

I would like to know how to help with the recovery of my burns.

This is a photo of my burns on my calf. What degree burn does it look like?
What treatment should I do to help with the recovery. Thanks.

I scalded my arm about 20 years ago when I knocked a full kettle of boiling water over myself. It went from wrist to shoulder. The Consultant at the hospital told me that I would probably need skin grafts. I went to a herbalist on the way home from hospital who told me to put pure undiluted lavender essential oil on it. Soak it in it and keep doing it. It was like magic, it is not cheap, but they could not believe the results at the hospital.

You are supposed to add a carrier oil to the lavender but we have used it ever since undiluted as described. It works every time. I have more pigment in the skin on that arm so it suntans freckly and browner, but otherwise absolutely perfect.

Appears to be partial thickness. To help recovery eating good amounts of protien 1gram per one kilogram of your weight will help. Application of a soothing nonpetro lotion will also help.

You have a mixture of 1st and 2nd degree burns.

The best thing you can do now as they are partially healed is apply fresh aloe vera gel.
Or go to the chemist and ask them to recommend a good cream that minimises scarring as this will scar.

Also including in your diet a good mixture of protein, zinc and Vitamin D.

Just watch for any signs of infection.

ummm that photo wasn't the greatest but if you not going to a burns unit then cover it with paraffin wax or aqueous cream (which is mostly paraffin) this creates a seal like natural oils skin normally produces. it retains moisture and protects from bacteria and pain.

i hope you were able to cool the burn under cold water for 20 minutes at least.
