Dr.Morepen Burnol Plus Cream, 15 gm

If your face has been burned or scalded by hot water, the first and most important step is to cool the area immediately by gently running cool (not ice-cold) water over the burn for about 15-20 minutes. This helps reduce heat damage to the skin and may lower the chance of scarring. Do not apply ice, toothpaste, turmeric, butter, or any home remedies, as these can irritate the skin further and increase the risk of infection. After cooling the area, gently pat the skin dry and apply a plain moisturiser, aloe vera gel, or a doctor-recommended burn cream if advised. Avoid rubbing or scratching the skin, and do not burst any blisters if they form. Keep the burned area clean and protected from direct sunlight, as fresh healing skin can darken easily and develop marks. Using a mild sunscreen after healing begins may help reduce pigmentation and scarring. Drink enough water and avoid harsh soaps, scrubs, or cosmetic products on the affected area until the skin heals properly. You should consult a doctor immediately if the burn is deep, very painful, covers a large area, affects the eyes, causes swelling or pus, or if you develop fever or increasing redness. Early treatment is especially important for facial burns to help healing and reduce the risk of permanent marks.
