Burned by hot oil on my face:( Any recommendations on what to put on it so it doesn't scar?
I was making dinner and did not realize there was some wetness in the bottom of the bowl when I was dumping veggies into a pan of hot oil. Needless to say, some splashed up on my cheek and THANKFULLY did not hit my eye, but right under it in 3 different places: under the eye, slightly downward towards the nose, and then right above my lip. Just wondering if anyone has any good remedies to apply to burned skin so hopefully this won't scar.

I have read that egg whites are the best thing to minimize scarring and help healing etc. The story was of a person that suffered a bad burn and they did that and when they got to the hospital that person was told that they did the right thing.

the idea being to prevent sunlight from reaching the affected area.

tanning=scarring. sunblock if nothing else. anything with high reflectivity.

Go to any drugstore or drug isle in a major supermarket and get you some liquid vitamin E. Put on the site 2-3 times a day until healed. I was in a car wreck years ago and had facial cuts from glass - I used the E and no scars remain.

It will heal all by it's self with no scar, made the same mistake quite a few times, sometimes you can't even tell after half hour or so.

reflectivity.

if the burned skin sees sun , it will tan a different shade than the healthy skin.

[link to en.wikipedia.org]

[link to en.wikipedia.org]
Zinc oxide can be used in ointments, creams, and lotions to protect against sunburn and other damage to the skin caused by ultraviolet light (see sunscreen). It is the broadest spectrum UVA and UVB reflector that is approved for use as a sunscreen by the FDA,[49] and is completely photostable.[50] When used as an ingredient in sunscreen, zinc oxide sits on the skin’s surface and is not absorbed into the skin, and blocks both UVA (320–400 nm) and UVB (280–320 nm) rays of ultraviolet light. Because zinc oxide (and the other most common physical sunscreen, titanium dioxide) are not absorbed into the skin, they are nonirritating and nonallergenic.[51]
Many sunscreens use nanoparticles of zinc oxide (along with nanoparticles of titanium dioxide) because such small particles do not scatter light and therefore do not appear white. Although there has been concern that they might be absorbed into the skin,[52][53] comprehensive reviews of the medical literature have not uncovered any risk.[54]

My mother was severely burned by boiling oil several years ago, (a boiling pot was dumped accidently on her arm, hand and back). Her arm and back was just a mass of raw, bleeding infection. She had to have all of the burned flesh removed with a razor - it was awful. An acquaintance of ours recommended a doctor who, at the time was the head of a burn unit at a local hospital.

The doctor had me prepare a shake for her to drink three times a day. He told me to mix Carnation Instant Breakfast mix with milk and two raw eggs. He also had me rub Nivea cream on her arm and back after the infection had cleared and the skin was sufficiently healed.

She faithfully drank this, (I don't remember for how many days - this was more than twenty years ago).

To this day, there is no scarring. Her skin is beautiful..It is truly unbelievable. The doctor said that the key was the raw eggs in the shake.

I'm a believer.

raw eggs = collegin nivea provides a similar barrier as aloe or viatmin E, makes sense
