Burn on my face.. continue with aloe or flake off naturally?

Hey guys! So last friday I burnt my face with a curling iron and saturday morning a big purplish bubbly burn appeared across my face I asked what to do and everyone said that I should put aloe gel on it. I did this but its almost a week later and my burn is still there! I asked my mom and she said to stop putting aloe on it and to just let it dry out and flake off on its own, but then I asked my dad and he said to continue putting aloe on it to help it heal. what do you guys think?! thank you :)

ps. I care so much about this because school starts in exactly one week from today and I do NOT want this ugly burn across my face for the first day of school

Answer #1

I vote for continuing with the aloe.

I found that freshly cut aloe is better than the gels or lotions with aloe in them. I just snip a piece of leaf from an aloe vera plant then squeeze the juice out. Sometimes it stings a little but I found that it helps heal burns better than anything else I tried.

Answer #2

whenever I get burnt from my curling iron or flat iron, I just put vaseline on it as soon as I get burnt & then I wait until it drys & flakes off, so I think you shud listen 2 your mom & leave it because I’ve been burnt over 5 times & I look as good as new

Answer #3

For heat burns, immediately immerse the burned skin in cool clean water to relieve the pain. Alternatively, pour cool clean water over the burned area or apply a clean cool cloth. This will relieve pain and reduce swelling and blistering. The burned area may be covered with a sterile dressing and seek medical attention if the burn is severe or covers a large portion of the skin
