hey guys i was doing some overhead welding today at work and i use a double spool type welder and i was using hard wire before lunch hence my welder was set lower, when i came back from lunch i had to overhead some flux core, and i forgot to turn my welder up so i had a nasty B B fall onto my pants and start me on fire, i put the fire out and the B B worked its way to my skin leaving some burns along the way down my thigh. anyways the creme my work gave me stings the open parts of the burns, do you guys use any kind of home remedies to help it heal along?

TIA

 

Aloe Vera, i think thats how its spelled. It works pretty good when ever i got burned.

yea the weed looking plant .. if u can get it natural .. i mean find the plant .. cut it open . the slimy stuff that secrets from it helps all kinds of burns, sun ext ..

next best would be the aloe vera cream ..

 

aloe huh?, didn't even think of it will it be ok on the open parts i mean the raw skin?

thanks

 

The best advice I can give is keep it clean! Burns like to get infected real easy.

 

yeah keep it clean. i had a bb fall down my sock once and i was hanging up in the air all contorted and it just kinda burnt a huge hole in between my achilles and ankle. worst thing ever. make sure to keep it clean and try not to pick off any scabs that form.

 

thanks for the info ,

i just did clean it best i could there is some black skin still hangin on but not much i can do gotta wait til i can take a bit more pain. i have had this happen before but i was lying on my back and it had no where to go but down, thinkof a hot knofe melting through butter that was me! I'm just glad it didn't land on my *******

i 'll go buy some aloe tomorrow and se how that works,

thanks again!

yeah its always worked when i burnt myself, welding.
im still learning . flux cored

 

yep get some aloe vera

I decided to weld an entire day wearing only shorts (working on gokart) and I got crazy painful sunburn on the whole of my upper body. Started peeling immediately... uh oh. That sucked... used lots of aloe vera

 

If you can go to the doctor and ask for Silvadyne ointment, it will work wonders. I'm not sure of the spelling, so I spelled it like it sounds. It's prescription stuff, but it's cause it's not just lotion. You can put it on and the pain is gone immediately. It also helps to heal fast.

Something about tungsten is really odd... getting burned by it can take a long time to heal...and if you stab hot tungsten into your skin by accident, it will be sore for weeks...and maybe leave a small bump under your skin for months.
