How to cure skin burn!

My grandmother used to say the same thing,but I learned in first aid class that you shouldnt do this. It doesnt stop the burning at all it just like dropping butter in a hot pan. If you recieve a burn you should immediately place it under cold running water to stop the burn.

Thanks for this information.but i think that it will be okay for first Aids.I don't think butter or magarine can rectify a very serious wound.

Cold water is better for a burn than butter. Butter or lard will drive the heat down into the flesh and cause the flesh to cook. This is what we are taught in first ade. If the skin is unbroken, run cool water over the area of the burn or soak it in a cool water bath (not ice water). Keep the area submerged for at least 5 minutes. A clean, cold, wet towel will also help reduce pain. http://www.mylot.com/nr/newresponse.aspx?p=1&qid=1028505 To treat superficial (minor) burns at home, make sure you cool down the skin as quickly as possible to prevent the burn getting worse. Hold the burn under cold, running water for 10 minutes. Chemical burns, for example from old batteries or strong cleaning fluids, should be rinsed in cold water for 20 minutes. Take off any jewellery, or clothing in the area of the burn. DO NOT APPLY CREAMS OR LOTIONS http://www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/articles/article.aspx?ArticleId=1047 At the Children's Hospital at Westmead in Sydney, Dr John Harvey tells us there's just one right way to treat a burn. Not with butter. Nor ice. Nor toothpaste: "They are really useless for first aid. Cold running water is the only way to go," he says. Not ice? "Not ice," says Dr Harvey. "Ice potentially does harm to the area surrounding the burn, so it's better to lower the temperature slowly and keep the circulation going to the surrounding area. So tap water is ideal. And 20 minutes is the ideal time." Running water's best because it continually takes heat away from the burnt skin. So remember— first aid for burns is cold water not ice. http://health.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=175602
