Yo guys I was just wondering if any of you guys know anything about burns... over the weekend, lets just say I wasn't using my "best judgement" and I let my friends brand me with a lighter, I've been putting aloe on it frequently, it looks pinkish red and it's like a dull pain. I was just wondering if you knew of anything I could do to prevent any scarring?

You'll be permenantly scarred, but it should be fine if you keep it clean. Stop with the aloe, put neosporin on it instead and use some gauze and tape to cover it if it's too big for a band aid.
I think it's gonna be ok, I'm just going to keep applying aloe to it because I hear that it keeps it moisturized and speeds up the healing process/reduces pain and helps reduce scarring. I don't need neosporin because this happened 2 days ago, I don't think I'm at any risk of infection.Thanks guys.
