Question

Can we use oil as a first-aid for burn on the skin

Open in App
Solution

An oil should moisturize the skin to heal from burns. This is because the skin loses the water due to burn and the cells are damaged. Every oil including mineral oil will moisturize the skin but mineral oil clogs the pores of the skin and this is permanent effect. So there are other vegetable oils like coconut oil which will moisturize the skin without clogging. So we can use coconut oil for healing from burns
