Dermatologist Explains How to Treat Minor Burns & Minimize Scarring | Dr. Sam Ellis

[@kelseybergstrom6397]

This is so helpful. As a chef, i have had a terrible habit of just ignoring minor burns, and my hands and arms are *covered* in scars. Now that I am in my 40’s, I regret not taking the time to actually care for my many first and second degree burns. To be fair, there are pressures in the industry to never stop working unless you literally like… lose a finger, so there’s that.

[@rosenico]

I get minor burns fairly often taking items out of my oven, even though I wear oven gloves. Aloe Vera gel helps alot to relieve pain and prevent or reduce blistering.

[@sirtsupirtsu]

My husband is a chef, 44 years old - has been working since he was 16. I know exactly what you are talking about. He has soo many burns and scars. And he just continues work ignoring everything besides incoming orders. I often scold him because of this when he comes home with another injury.

Found your channel by accident when I scalded my arm on my hot iron. I’m so grateful that I did. Your channel is excellent and offers very useful advice on a whole variety of skin issues. You present in such a clear, straightforward manner with complete common sense. Thanks so much, Dr. Ellis!

[@tkhachi]

Exact comment I came to leave. So informative and great presentation that was easy to understand

[@mubtah]

@@dcoughla681 Most of the people doesn’t like the lengthy presentation. Most of the talks are not necessary to described. Directly she should explain the treatment.

Mr Minister of Education: Play this video at all the schools and highschools twice a year and make sure they have payed attention. Please and thank you. 🙌🏻

[@jeanettestalmack2183]

This is an incredible video. So helpful and very generous of you. Many thanks

[@24lovepink]

As a school nurse this information is so helpful Dr. Ellis. Thank you!

[@prophysix]

Dr. Ellis you are just so good at presenting information! Have you ever been in teaching? Whenever I watch a video of yours about a condition or a procedure I end up learning something new 😊

[@lynettejenkins9213]

It was great Sam. I learned a lot. Thank you 🇨🇦❤️

[@mariaelenafrias6679]

Thank you Dr Ellis!! You never disappoint with this informational video. 😊❤

[@juliashelepova]

This is so helpful. I will be showing this video to my kids later today. 👌🏻

[@samonicango5508]

So helpful!

[@KaylaAvitabile]

I’ve gotten second degree burns before and it is no joke! Definitely took a while for scarring to diminish. Thank you for another great video Dr. Ellis!

[@KK-lq7tb]

I have also second degree burn on my face . I’m so depressed. Please help it will go away burn scars on face

[@rajeshkumarsingh5672]

What did you apply @KaylaAvitabile

[@cdmango5756]

My burn scars do not go away. I hate them.. Please tell us what to use to erase them

[@KaylaAvitabile]

The doctor told me to just apply a moisturising sunscreen which was the aveeno protect & hydrate, it was my leg and it happened in the winter, so it didn’t really see the sun much which helped but it was at least a year before it diminished

[@deborah972]

Hi dr sam ellis love all your videos thanks for everything 🎉 😅 xx

[@dwilson6769]

My mom used to iron her clothes a lot. When i was 18 months it fell on my right foot. I still have the scar. My uncle said it was so swollen. Im thankful I have no memory of this pain.

[@sirtsupirtsu]

This was very helpful, thank you!

[@lavayuki]

I remember I got burnt from waxing, as I use retinol and didn’t know you shouldn’t wax. It was agony, thankfully minor and superficial so the burn disappeared without scarring after a week, I was just caking vaseline on it and avoiding hot water.

[@Burnsey25]

I wish I’d seen this video before my hand was splashed with hot cooking oil last week 😬 Will know for next time! Thank you Doctor

[@elevatedlife3884]

Very helpful! You hit on SO many points and answered all my questions

[@MarisaMei]

Wow this video was so informative! Recently burned myself on an oven grate and had to go to the doctor’s for it! Thanks for sharing all your knowledge so I know how to care for a burn next time!

[@HangNguyen-ih8rf]

Thanks for the info ❤ downloading this video to save for future ref

[@PhenomenalChoklit]

Thank you for the information. Since I can’t run cool water on my forehead. What would you recommend?

[@harshithakonchada5484]

Hii Dr. Ellis! Lots of love from India!!! I was just wondering if you'd just make a video on your weekly hair care routine (including both wash and non-wash days). Would be really helpful. Thanks a ton!

[@MillenialKay]

Sooo information Definitely top tier information 👌

[@bissod24]

Great information. I have tons of scars on my hands but just got a blister on hand with hot water I will follow your directions.❤

[@rajeshkumarsingh5672]

Did it heal and is there a scar and what did you apply

[@sebumpostmortem]

Literally applying _Blastoestimulina_ NOW 😅 (pharmacy cream ad hoc with centella asiatica). I had my treti already on and did a 10 mins peel with The Ordinary AHA-BHA "Countess Bathory" blood serum on my hands.✨ Nothing wrong till here. Except that I forgot that I had the bathory and touched my cheek-jaw with 4 fingers because a hair got in the way. Since I was slugged with a thick layer of vaseline, I didn' t feel anything so, during 12 hours, treti + bathory 🔥🤦🏻‍♀️. It took me a full day to figure out wth it was. Looked exactly like an spider bite. As an ex severe acne sufferer, I' m a mastah treating scars😅 but I learned it the hard way: The bathory peeling must be done with plastic gloves and Swan Lake crossed arms😌. Thanks for this video, much needed! 🧛🏻‍♀️🖤

[@christinemack2153]

Thank you!

[@kayleywojciechowski2679]

I’m not the biggest fan of the vita c finish, so I use it at night. Is that ok? I have honestly noticed a huge difference in my skin tone! It longs brighter and more even. 😊

[@alienpotatosquid7850]

off topic, but would you ever consider making a travel sized or lip balm sized version of the prequel skin utility ointment? i love the ointment for anywhere and everywhere on my body. i’m a few months shy of 28 with dry, sensitive skin, eczema, psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis. i’ve been going to the deem since i was a toddler and have tried so many prescription and otc products. this is *the* ointment for everything and everyone. i’m so in love with the formula. 🖤🖤 that said, i especially love the feel, benefit, and look on my lips!! however, i’d love to have a smaller tube to have in my purse. when i travel i would take the full size but maybe other people prefer smaller packaging and this could be a two-in-one option? i don’t always carry large bags and (this is a *me* issue) also feel a tad ridiculous pulling a full size ointment tube out of my already tightly packed crossbody. 😅

[@Katepwe]

Maybe just put some from the large tube into a small container.

[@alienpotatosquid7850]

i could and i may but i prefer a tube vs a jar. i’ll look into small/travel containers but would still love a prequel lip balm sized balm. :)

[@RobSweigard]

I have had numerous burns from various sources such as welding and steam lines. All I would classify as minor. What I have found works very well is to (immediately/as soon as possible) hold the burned area against a large piece of cool/room temperature metal such as a sledge hammer, anvil, large piece of pipe, bench vise, copper cold water line (better with cold water running through it). As you hold the burned area to the cooler object you will feel the pain leaving. After the pain has stopped you can stop the process. If the pain comes back instantly redo, and the length of time will improve between redos. After a few times the pain should subside. I have had repeat burns on my wrists but have no obvious scars and seldom dealt with a blister. I never used ointments or bandages for most of them. The key is the speed in which you get the burned area to the cooler object. Walk On ! ☺♥†♪♫ 1-4-25

[@GLAMBEAUTYGee]

Helpful BTW your makeup looks fantastic love your lip color.

[@Tis_I_SirJames]

I thought Neosporin was the go to ointment to prevent infection. Isn't it safe to use on blister burns too?

[@eunicious]

how long to wait before putting ointments? 2-3 hours?? tks

[@SandyNewton-d6g]

Very help full. I burnt my hand with Carmel. Making candy.

[@lilacskies9493]

I have a burn from fireworks (4th of July was last week) but it’s small and on the back of my hand ( not the palm)… I’m hoping it will start to heal but it’s the kind that is white and a ring of red around the site of the burn .

[@nada199000]

Honestly i had 1st burn from hot water in my hand. What i did, first i tried to cool it down with cold water then i applied aleo vera natural gel i have it in my garden and i used vitamin E cream with aleo vera then covered it with plastic wrap.. Afterwards i took panadol then i tried ice ontop didnt leave it for long ofc.. The burn was unpleasant.. Then i used sudocrem with Uriage cica and sometimes vitamin E cream.. I tried with whatever i have.. Still hurt though just had it yesterday but it is much better only when i accidentally touch it.. I could feel it hurt.. Swollen ofc.. A bit red.. But nothing serious thankfully..

[@Lonestar_Raider]

Thank you doc. I burned the s**t out of my finger… this helped

[@alexleee3885]

doc, is Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate a safe option for someone who's acne prone and deals with rocesea?

[@db-gb5xi]

I believe she covers this in the video, Dermatologist Explains Vitamin C in Skincare & Favorite Affordable Vitamin C Serums.

[@sarahsandler3265]

I wish I had this in December when I got a horrible burn on my forehead from oil! Luckily it’s healed pretty well, but I have one red sensitive spot. My derm said to use silicone scar sheets. Do those actually do anything?

[@user-Smokey-123]

I burned my forehead with a curling iron. I put Vaseline on it. It seemed to work fine but I didn’t hear this mentioned in your video. Any problems with doing this?

[@perlamartinez4906]

She mentions the use of Vaseline at time 7:27

[@sunitashah2967]

did it cause any scar?

[@user-Smokey-123]

@@sunitashah2967 no scar. There is some skin discoloration but very minor. I also use castor oil on my face, I think this helps too.

[@MANASPINI_PANDA]

And i rub ice after 😢 Burns

[@cdmango5756]

Is there lazer or any other treatment available to remove the scar after healing? I have scars that are years old and I am always interested in getting them ERASED😂😂

[@db-gb5xi]

What about chemical burns like from a chemical peel?

[@pamelaliegh]

?? This is for ACCIDENTAL burns, this has been mentioned no less than 100 ways and times How you related that to a chemical peel that you do in office, is beyond me. You go right ahead and peel your chemical peel 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

[@Hey_Its_JP]

Is it going to leave a scar? :(

[@Marys.blog22]

sadly yes, i burned my cheek with a curling iron a few days ago im taking care of it but the scar wont go away, you have to go do a scar laser remover!!! Hope this helps

[@vio3366]

​@@Marys.blog22 When I used aloe Vera in the past it didn't leave a scar I will do the same with my burn now I hope it will work out

[@Adetoluwa]

@@vio3366did the aloe Vera help heal the burn without scarring?

Please get to the point

I used to have a small slab of 2 inch polished granite stone someone threw out. I slapped that on a huge arm burn as soon as it happened. I held it there for 20 min, no water. It never blistered or scarred.

She does have videos on layering skincare. She's also got a video on best anti-aging skincare to add to your routine for wrinkles, dark spots. As for mature skincare videos, Dr. Idriss has a 50+ plus video, Dr Dray has a couple, Doctorly has one, Dr. Daniel Sugai has shorts on 50s skincare.

[@Rojast07]

You have some nerve taking my photo from a medical professional website and using it for your video thumbnail. Imagine my surprise searching for something related and I come across my picture on your video. Please take this down and use generic photos to advertise your channel, not individual’s uploaded pictures seeking medical advice for their conditions. I will never make that mistake again. The doctors that did respond, provided helpful advice at the time (you weren’t one of them, have NO clue who you are)! Despicable!

[@mubtah]

Too much talking. Just come directly to the treatment. Stop unnecessary talk okease
