  • "cotton or any other synthetic material", We're trusting you with your second and third degree burns and you don't know that cotton isn't a synthetic material?!?

  • Chuck norris never dies cause captain nurses him back to health

  • I got burned..,with fire its nothing but red n ,it stings wat burn degree is it?

  • To burn alive is the second worst way to die in my opinion. i can't even see that though it's better than being aborted I think.

  • thnx

  • Leaves out alot. What about the warning of not putting on butter or cream etc? (The skin is still cooking. Stuff on holds heat in.) What about not putting anything on top of peeling off skin?

  • Take your shirt off Joe Bruni!

  • what if the blister pops on its own and their is open flesh what do you do? i am unsure of what to do because it is on my upper arm by my arm pit so it is hard to keep a dressing on it.

  • i got 2nd degree burn on my shoulders and when i was trying to sleep i felt puss flowing down my collarbone it was disgusting and hurt so bad

  • But what if you didnt put anything on it after it happened, but now you have the blister?? Should I pop the blister?
