Q&A: When should I start putting Vitamin E on my burns?
When should I start putting Vitamin E on my burns?
I burnt myself a week ago on my arm and the burn is starting to heal. It has the scab on it and the edges are red, hopefully everything is okay so far? I’ve been cleaning it and putting neosporin on it daily. I want to start using vitamin E eventually because I heard using it on burns helps minimize scarring. When should I start putting vitamin E on? Is it too early?

Vitamin E is NOT absorbed through the skin – you have to eat it to get the benefits of it. There is absolutely NO POINT WHATSOEVER in putting Vitamin E onto dead skin cells. They can’t absorb it and – even if they could – they’re dead; what good would it do?
What you have heard about Vitamin E is a fallacy; a lie conjured up by the manufacturers who have shitloads of it spare.
Sorry if I am coming across as a sour-faced old git, but sometimes you just gotta have the truth. I can absolutely guarantee you that you are wasting your money. Defenders of Vitamin E creams are either liars or deluded.
There – said it.

Girl, sorry to burst your bubble regarding vitamin E oil, but researchers has shown that there are very little to none benefits for using vitamin E Oil for treatment of scars.
Have a look at the links supplied as it will give more understanding on scars and treatment therefore.
One of the best ways to limit burn scars is to prevent infection, keeping them moist and let the body do his thing.
Good luck
