With its skin-soothing properties to reduce inflammation, oats are particularly useful when your burn is healing and you're tempted to scratch it. Add a cup of oats to bath water and soak for 20 minutes to soothe a large burn. For smaller irritations, add some oats to a small bowl of water and soak the affected area. Air dry your skin so a thin layer of oats remains, further reducing itching.
Burn Degrees. First Degree Burns: Damage is sustained on the top layer of the skin (epidermis). The burn area appears red and changes to white when pressure is applied. The burn usually takes 3-6 days to heal and usually heals on its own (sunburns etc.). Second Degree Burns: Both the epidermis and the layer underneath, the dermis are damaged. Second degree burns are classified into two types: superficial partial thickness or deep partial thickness burns.
