My teenager has burnt herself with heated sugar today.
Her hand and face is blistered.
I took her to the minor injuries unit, where we were only seen by a 3rd year nurse, no other member of staff.
The hand has been covered with a dressing, and strapped up and put in a sling.
The face has been left, and I've been told to put vaseline on it every two hours.
And we are to return tomorrow.
Now my dd is in a lot of pain, despite being given ibprofen and paracetamol. So I googled to see what I should/could be doing.
Every website I have seen so far says do not put vaseline on a fresh burn, as it is putting fuel on the fire.
Anyone with any proper advice???
