what to do about an electrical burn

[Keila]

Well long story short, I was trying to fix some electric equipment (guitar amp) and something must have gone wrong, because I burned my left hand pretty badly. The burn goes up to my wrist, and it's really sore. I can't play a guitar and it's hard to move my hand. What can I do to help this heal and reduce the pain.

thanx

Theres this type of cactus, we have one at my home, where if you break off one of the stems, there is this clear jelly like liquid inside of it. It helps heal burns.

Once I was cooking hand burgers for our grill out, and I tripped and naturally I tried catching myself, but unnaturally, I tried catching myself on the flaming grill.

My entire hand was burnt up really bad, so we cracked open one of the stems on the cactus, rubbed it on, and the next day you could still see the burn mark, but the pain went away.

You should talk to your parents about it, then visit a local herb/flower shop and look into it.

Aloe Vera is quite good for this as well (might be the one your talking about actually) other than that try to keep it covered but allow it to breathe at the same time...i suggest some kind of loose gauze but not something that will stick to your skin
