I fell down some carpeted stairs. I have rug burn on my forehead that hurts so bad. I was wondering how I should treat it? I have read on the internet to keep it dry and other sites say to keep it moist with aloevera or neosporin. What should I do? :(

You have to treat it like an actual skin burn, as in hot water, or touching a hot surface because basically that is what it is.

When did it happen, I mean how long have you had the burn ?

I have had the burn for two days and it hurts like heck. I am letting it dry out.

I had a nasty burn once and the doctor gave me some [collagen?] cream and it worked well.

Apply Cold Water to the Rug Burn

You can treat a rug burn the same way you'd treat other first degree burns. The first step to treating a rug burn is to hold the injured area under cool, running water for about ten or even twenty minutes.

Do not place ice directly on a rug burn. This could actually cause more damage to the injured area.

Keep the Rug Burn Dry

After removing the injured area from the water, gently but thoroughly dry the area with something soft and gentle, like a cotton ball.

You want to keep a rug burn dry at all times. So, after baths and showers, give make sure the rug burn is thoroughly dry.
