Britpick Question

What do you guys use for minor burns? I'm looking for an ointment or gel that you'd put on before covering with a bandage. Either a brand name or the generic name of the stuff would do. Is pure aloe (like right out of the plant) a commonly used treatment method? Thanks.

Varies really. Common antiseptic creams such as Savlon, TCP cream then add a dressing such as Melolin, sure you have similar in the US. Elastoplast do a burn spray. Its very cold and sort of freezes the burn without freezing the skin. Its also antiseptic.

Edit: typical store to buy these supplies would be Boots.
