Bacon grease burn

Serendipity117

I was making BLT's for dinner and got burned. A huge pocket of grease popped and ended up getting me from mychin down to my cleavage where my shirt protected my chest. It doesn't look too bad but it still burns like a mutha f-er. I've been sitting here with a cool towel on my neck and chest. We don't have any burn cream in the house and I'm not really sure what to put on it. Google is no help, everything contradicts itself.

What do you put on burns? I need some relief, please help.

Milk i think is supposed to help

Oh no! That is awful! I hate burns. You can make a thick paste from baking soda and water/milk and put that on. I've *heard* some nipple creams work well too if you BFed at all.

We have an aloe plant for burns, but I know that doesn't help you right now. Keep a cool compress on it then cover it with gauze. If it blisters, don't pop it.

Thanks ladies, I'll give those a try. No blisters, so I'll consider myself lucky, but I am going to have some red spots for a couple days.

Oh no!! That really sucks. :-( I agree with MamaP - I've done this before on a grease burn on my arm and it helps.

Just be careful not to put anything with petrolatum jelly on it. Ask me how I know this.

Feel better!!

Do you have any lotion with aloe vera or hydrocortisone cream?

ouch!

I burned myself with grease a few months ago on the inside of my lower arm. I waited too long to run cold water over it & it really hurt for several hrs after. I'm not sure if this is correct or not, but I put some ointment on it & bandaged it. What sucked was that from picking up/putting down DS, it kept getting a lot of friction on it & didn't heal well & it scarred.

I got mixed advice too on how to care for it.

I third the baking soda paste. Hope it feels better soon. That sucks.

We usually do the run it under cold water thing, then an ice pack, then ointment if it's bad.  I'm so sorry you got burned.

 

Ona side note, bacon sounds really, really good.

I'm so sorry, burns are the WORST!!  I'm always skittish around the stove when I've got something frying and it's popping.  

I've found that goldbond cream works really well on burns.  I hope you get some relief soon!
