last night I went to turn over a oven chip(french fry) and I hit my knuckle on the top of the inside of the oven! boy did it burn, I ran it under cold water and put some butter on now what???? Neosporin anything else?
it still hurts a little, its like a tiny triangle between my first and second knuckle. I do not want it to scar bad - it is small and I know will lighten over time but it hurts now

Get an RX for Silvadene creme. It shrinks the burn so there is no scar. It is absolutely the best stuff around. My son burned himself on the electric stovetop by his elbow and it was gone in 5 days!

I described it to one of the nurses, she said silvadene is only for third degree or worse burns what I have should just put neosporin and cover

Re: HELP!! I need home/remedies for an oven burn
old chefs tip....next time you burn yourself, cut a tomato and put the cut size on the burn. It will take the sting away faster!
BTW...you should never put butter on a burn...that makes it worse!

Lisa's right - sliced tomato is great (my dad is a chef). You could also try toothpaste.

Also, soak your hand in luke warm water, not cold. That helped me SO much the last time I burned myself.

silvadine is available at most med supply places and you can just go in and buy it.
