When I was scalded my Mother phoned the Doctor to ask for advice on how best to deal with it.
He said to soak clean linen teatowels in cold milk(and we only had one kind back then, full fat, cream floating on the top stuff) and wrap them over the burns like bandages.
They had to be replaced every three hours and clean dry ones put on before I went to bed. This was done for a week.
The skin sloughed off, but although it didn't tan evenly for years, it isn't scarred.
It never seemed to have the same melanin (I'm a fair skinned, green eyed, freckled Scot with a fair bit of red in my dark brown hair, so there's not a lot anyway) and it went red and sore, but never really browned. I learned to keep out of the Sun.
Lots of advice coming through
, but has anyone got anything agin or for the original question ?
cheers,
Toddy
