Step 1 of 12

This is my steam burn I got a week ago. I've been treating it and it's much better now.

Step 2 of 12

These are all of my supplies. I prefer to use Bio-Oil, but you could use any other scar treatment you have on hand.

Step 3 of 12

Thoroughly wet the paper towel.

Step 4 of 12

Squeeze out excess water till damp. Make sure to leave just a tinny bit of water left in the paper towel.

Step 5 of 12

Hold the damp paper towel on steam burn until pain stops. What ever you do, DO NOT ice it. It only makes the pain worse.

Step 6 of 12

Depending on how long you keep the paper towel on, you might need to repeat steps 3 and 4. After that, wipe off any excess water.

Step 7 of 12

Spay on the anitseptic.

Step 8 of 12

Wipe off the antiseptic around burn only. Be careful not to wipe the accual burn its self.

Step 9 of 12

Add a band-aid and leave it alone till the next day.

Step 10 of 12

In the morning, take of the band-aid so the burn can breathe. Before you go to bed, repeat steps 7-9.

Step 11 of 12

Once it starts to heal, put on the scar treatment. Use as often as directed on box. (note the shiny Bio-Oil on arm)

Step 12 of 12

Hope it feels better soon!!! Bye for now!!
