    This has happened to me many times.. my doctor advised me to immediately hold ice to the spot.. this prevents scar tissue forming.. I have seen this work..
    also try Mederma cream / ointment.

    I used ghee on my burn the other day and now I have no scar and it took away the pain. I had got scolded by boiling water.

    Thank you AC,Asha,Preethi..for your tips.

    AC,my scar vanished on applying Mederma.

    Asha,Preethi.. Is honey and batter a first aid or help in reducing scar?

    You can use Neosporin too...Advantage is you can use for both you and Priyash for any cuts,small burns and bruises.

    Use of toothpaste is real effect as it cools the burn fast, hence helps in healing it soon.

    Toothpaste can be applied on pimples too.... they dry sooner!
