**Lollie86** · 19-02-2008 12:18

I just got splashed in the face with some cooking oil and it is absoultely killing me!

There are 2 spots that are forming already and I have only put an ice pack on it so far.

I really dont want to scar....what can I put on the burn????

Do you have any antiseptic burn cream??

**Lollie86** · 19-02-2008 12:27

Not that I can find.....is there anything else I can put on instead?

Ouch!!! That happened to me a few months back. I was frying eggs, and I got splashed with oil. It took a few weeks to heal, and it looked terrible. How about some soothing aloe vera gel/ointment?!

Okay well I just googled it and it said lavender oil which I dont have or vitamin e cream which i cant find (i think my sister took it

) and aloe vera cream/gel which i cant find either.....

Anything else? I know im asking for a lot but it is stinging me.

if its still hot i wouldnt put anything on it yet keep a bag of peas covered in a tea towel on it or even a cold face washer and change it regularly, if you put cream on it why its still warm, even though it doesnt feel like it the cream can make it worse.

Do you have savlon though for later on? Bepanthenem? Even sodocream paw paw ect

Just dont put it on till you are 100% sure its cooled right down

Its not hot or warm anymore....i had an ice pack on until now....

I have lucas pawpaw ointment....will that work?

not ice

that can destroy the skin cells,.. run it under cold water for 15-20mins or until the pain subsides,...then leave it undressed - and keep an eye on it for infection.. also, careful about washing your face/hair etc,...

I would just keep it cool until the burning subsides and get a gel burn cream from the chemist. The gel stuff can prevent getting a scar (and works from experience)
