Add your argument:

Onion & a pinch of salt

idea posted by S. Muralidharan Executive Director, Knowledge Foundation & Campus Around the Corner
I agree with Bindu on this. Those who seek reasoning to her claim, here is an article: The February 1911 Bulletin of the History of Medicine (15: 143-49) contained a most informative article by medical historian Henry F. Sigerist entitled "Ambroise Pare's Onion Treatment of Burns." Pare was a famous French surgeon (1510-1590) who was looking for a simpler, easier and more effective remedy for burns than the standard cooling ointments of his day. He discovered it in a most remarkable way in Peidmont around 1537. At that time he was a young surgeon of 27 and was attached to the army of the Marshal de Montejan in the third war between Francis I and Charles V. ONe of the kitchen boys employed by this Marshal "fell by chance into a Caldron of Oyle being even almost boyling hot," Pare later recounted in his memoirs. The good doctor was immediately called on to attend to the poor lad's injuries. He quickly went to the local apothecaries "to fetch refrigerating medicines commonly used in this case," when he met "by chance a certaine old countrey woman, who ...perswaded mee...that I should lay to raw Onions beaten with a little salt" on the boy's injured skin. "Wherefore," he continued, "I thought good to try the force of her Medicine unpon this greasy scullion. I the next day found those places of his body whereto the Onions lay, to be free from blisters, but the other parts which they had not touched, to be all blistered."

Muralidharan I agree with you but I think the safest way is as I mentioned in Bindus case.

Add your argument:

Egg white

idea posted by Ashoka B kalgude Executive, Biocon India
Put the affected area to chill by water or ice. Then apply egg white which is rich in collagen will make heal fast and avoids scar mark. may be aloe vera also act in same way by supplying more Oxygen.

ICE cube therapy

idea posted by Srinivas suravajhala Asst. Manager.
I usually use Ice cube for treatment of burns. But this ice cube therapy workable only for the minor burns. As far as scars are concerned, application of honey on regular basis will provide good results. Its my experience. Hot greengram dal sprinkled on to my face accidentally while I was cooking. Almost upper portion of my face was burnt. Blisters formed on my face. However, there was no scar on my face. Someone advised me to apply honey once the burnt injury healed totally. I followed the advise. Thanks to his advise I have no scar on my face.
