For minor burns use Preparation H

Submitted by Shirley

I recently burned the entire palm of my hand - fingers included and had blisters galore. I spread Preparation H on affected area, sat for about 1/2 hour, the pain slowly going away. I could not open my hand flat. The blisters went down, and the redness went away. I kept putting Preparation H on and by next morning there was no blisters, no pain, no redness. I did my dishes in hot water, no gloves and no pain the next morning.

This really works!!! Comments By: Bobbie My sister burned her thumb on a hot plate and thought she would have to go to emergency. We found this site and I had a Preperation H wipe she used. That was the only thing that stopped the burning!!!   Amazing! Comments By: anon I burnt my fingers so bad i thought i had to go to the emergency room ... thank god i found some preparation H it really saved me!   Works for me Comments By: Amanda Works great for minor burns!   THANK YOU!! Comments By: steph in charlotte :) Preparation H was the ONLY thing that worked when I burned myself on the outside of a candle jar and the label/paint stuck to/in my blistering hand....I cried and cried. The Preparation H took away 90% of the pain within a half hour. NOTE though....the gel with aloe did nOT work, I had to use the preparation H white cream...once I did so, the next morning my blistering was minimal and the pain was gone.
