    Ice cube and salt burn.
    About four days ago my friend, Dale, showed me a burn he got from his brother. His brother had put salt on his arm, and placed an icecube on it for about a minute.

    He told me to do it. So, my friend Fallon & I did almost the same thing, except we dipped the entire ice cube bottom in a bag of salt, and then placed it on the inside of our forearms. Mine did not turn out like his... I woke up this morning and found that it's turning out just like a burn would, with burn blisters, and it really hurts.. what can I put on it so that it will heal quickley and not scar?

    Please, I really would appreciate your help.

    LOL, how old you guys, anyway. Sounds like a good example of monkey see monkey do. Don't cover it up, aloe vera cream or an antibiotic cream, I would tend to go with the aloe vera once in a while. It won't stain or leave grease marks.

    I googled second degree burn, and it looks exactly like that.. is it possiable to get a burn from an icecube and salt? Is antibiotic ointment okay>?

    I guess that is what you have got if you used salt and an ice cube. Probably creating dry ice which burns like heck if you get it on you. You can use antibiotic ointment, but like I said its greasy so use aloe vera and don't cover it up.

    Actually it's a mild form of frost bite and not a burn, the best you can do is use some antibiotics and it'll heal on its own, I did it, once, you guys should really look up things before you go out and do them.
