First aid
Do you guys have any site that will help with first aid?
For example, I got an oil burn this weekend. It isn't too bad, but it is starting to dry and hurt. I bought two types of pads, two types of gauze and tape to figure out how to wrap it so I can keep it moist (ech) and also not rubbing on anything. It would be nice to be able to look this stuff up, but when I did, I didn't find anything helpful. Currently, I have two non-stick pads wrapped with stick to itself gauze. The pads keep moving, so I think I should have taped them down. I think the stick to itself gauze is a little too rough because I have one spot right below where my wrist bends and it hits every once in a while. Tomorrow, I am going to try the other pads (uber fluffy) taped loosely down with regular gauze. Hopefully it is strong enough to hold up to my day. |

Get some calendula ointment and keep it in your kitchen. Put it on the burn right away. It hurts more for a few seconds, but then feels much better. Re-apply as needed to keep the skin from drying out.

For minor stuff we use betadine ointment (povidone iodine, 10%).
It lets air in to the wound, and it's ok to wrap with gauze, or whatever. And it works wonders on minor burns. |
Thanks for all the suggestions!

Never too late.
And for the pain get Burnjel Plus. It's got the most Lidocaine of any OTC ointment. |
