How to treat skin burnt due to bleach?



Burns caused by bleach are usually superficial and extremely ugly and blotchy. The best remedy for them is to leave them alone and let time take care of the problem. But if they are deeper than the surface of the skin, then you can try and apply aloe vera gel to them. Gel taken from fresh leaves will help heal burns about 10 times faster than if taken out of a tube. It will provide soothing, cooling relief and heal burns simultaneously. Applying a ripe, mashed banana and leaving that on the burn for about 15 minutes will draw out the pain and heat and help with faster healing. You can do this as many times as you like.

You can also apply regular fluoridated toothpaste for relief from burns. This will also be a cooling agent and help with healing. Spirulina is also considered magical in healing burns from within. Make a paste of sandalwood powder, turmeric powder and just enough olive oil to give it a pasty consistency and smear on burns. This will heal as well as provide relief. For prolonged agony from burns, it is advisable to get medical help. These remedies provide relief but may not necessarily heal the burns completely, especially if they go well below the surface of the skin.
