Cover the affected area with, aloe vera gel/cream or an antibiotic cream, (non oil based) and a bandage..

Minor burns should be watched for any evidence of infection, such as redness, fever, swelling, oozing or increased pain. If you notice that an infection has developed, get medical attention. There may be some pigment changes in the affected area. Most minor burns usually heal on their own without any major complications.

To keep from scaring keep the burn moist at all times with lotion or gel and keep bandage. Do not let the burn dry out or scab over.Keep this way until well heal. This will keep the scaring down. Massage the scar when burn is fully heal a few minutes a day to brake down the scar tissue this will get rid of most of the scar.Good luck!

When treating burns, it is not recommended to use ice. Applying ice directly on the burned area can further damage the skin or can cause frost bite.

Hi, I am a dermatologist by profession and within a careeer of 10 years I have seen lots of acne problems. According to me Red and white pimples are the worst and painful. Acneprone skin is very sensitive, even if you touch it once the redness will increase with itching. According to me there is no magical way to heal your pimples over night as this is the puffed part of your skin due to the bacteria. In simple words try to improve your diet and have lots of water that helps in healingg process. Un-necessary oily food should be avoided to get a healthy spotless skin.
