How do you treat cigarette burns?
Treating a burn when it first occurs reduces the chances that the burn will scar. Run the burn under cold water to relieve the pain. Generously apply a triple antibiotic such as Neosporin and apply a bandage immediately. Keep the cigarette burn covered at all times as exposure to the environment can result in infection or prolonged healing. Keep the burn moist and bandaged to protect it from pressure and friction. Change the bandage every one to two days and reapply triple antibiotic ointment. If you do not notice the burn healing, you should contact you health care provider. A variety of prescription-strength burn treatments are on the market. Your doctor can prescribe the one that will best heal your cigarette burn.
How to treat a cigarette burn?
You can try an antibiotic cream to help healing correctly. Try neosporin or bactrim or something like that. Only apply a little bit. You dont want it covered, just lightly coated. Also if it is open (still bleeding or something) wear a bandage. After it closes let it open to air. If his skin is still raw you can keep using the ointment. It has conditioning type stuff in it so it shouldn't make his skin worse. Please make sure he isn't allergic to it. Hope this helps :)
How can I treat cigarette burns?
You need to be careful with the broken blisters to prevent infection. Yes you can use neosporin unless they're very deep burns. In addition try soaking the area in warm water with Epsom salts twice a day. Keep them covered during the day and let them "air out" at night (uncover them). It should take about 3.5 weeks from the time you got them till when they're completely healed. You will probably end up with scars though, which will take about 8 months to fade from red to pink to white. You can use scar creams to try and speed up the fading process.
How to treat a cigarette burn on my cat?
It depends on how serious the burn is. If it's just the first layer of skin, then you can try to GENTLY clean the poor cat's head with water, no soap. Don't put ointment on it. If the burn is second degree (if the skin is blistered) or worse, take the cat to the vet. And don't let the cat out any more, obviously you have a sicko who likes to torture cats in the neighborhood. Incidentally, the same advice holds true for humans...clean a minor burn, but go see a doc for a more serious burn.

What is the safest way to treat a cigarette burn?
First you should run it under cold running water and afterward put some ice on the burn. After icing for around 5-15 minutes, you may put some aloe on to soothe and heal the burn. If you see green or white fluid in the area, swelling, change in color, or worsening in pain the burn is most likely infected. If you think the burn is infected you should see a medical professional right away.
How to treat a cigarette burn mark on face?
Over the weekend, I accidently held a cigarette too close to my face and it left a small mark :( stupid I know. Now it's purple-ish and sort of peeling. I don't have neosporin at the moment so I've been using vaseline, but I'm open to anything. How can I treat it? What remedies should I use? How long would it take to heal? Will it leave a mark forever? Thanks so much!!

What do cigarette burns on your skin look like?
I have one on my thumb and it has been there for many years. Wished I’d learnt how to treat it because the scar can be unsightly.Always remember that a cigarette burn is not a minor issue that can be ignored, especially when the tingling pain persists for a long time after the initial shock of the burn subsides. Due to the high heat from the lighted end of a cigarette, it burns the epidermal layer of the skin, resulting to scarring if left untreated.Burns typically heal at a faster rate as long as they are kept clean while the pain is minimized by taking over-the-counter medications for pain. Always remember that cigarette burns must not be treated with ice or oils to minimize the pain since these will only cause infection as well as further increase irritation.Hope this helps!
