i burnt my nose and the skin peeled off. Its quite painful and its pink! when will this heal!? help me ... only answer if you have an answer that can actually help me!
Answer:
It sounds like you have a 1st degree sunburn. 2-4days is when it will heal. As far as the pain you have a few options. Go to the store and find an after sun lotion that has Lidocaine in it. This will help to numb the pain. Lidocaine is used by medical professionals to numb an area that is painful.
So stay out of the sun till it heals so you don't re-burn your nose. Keep your face clean and try to stay away from make-up but if you must wear some so your nose is not an eyesore, use a little powder. It really shouldn't take more than a few days for you to be close to normal again. Try not to rub it and sleeping on your back may help you to keep from rubbing your nose on you pillow. Remember Lidocaine is your friend.
2-3 weeks. Drink plenty of water
LITE A MATCH AND BURN IT AGAIN THIS WELL TAKE AWAY THE PAIN!
i would use solarcaine, but i'm not a doctor or anything, try this website before you listen to my advice:

i really hope that helps and that your nose feels better soon! maybe you could paint the rest of your face pink and then your nose wouldn't stand out as being burned =)
My nose peeled just about 2 weeks ago from sunburn. I put cold water on it every day at night (wash rag) before I went to sleep just to ease the pain. I also used Aloe Vera lotion and it really did help the pain. Lotions also help if you get the right kind.I believe you have a 1 degree burn which is usually the lowest of the burns, so you don't have too much to worry about.Here's some information on 1 degree burns:First-degree burns, the mildest of the three, are limited to the top layer of skin: * Signs and symptoms: These burns produce redness, pain, and minor swelling. The skin is dry without blisters.
* Healing time: Healing time is about 3 to 6 days; the superficial skin layer over the burn may peel off in 1 or 2 days.I hope this helps you, from the best of my knowledge, besides pain you should be okay. 3-6 days is when it should heal over.Hope you're feeling better and back to yourself soon! =D
cold water is the best first aid when you burn yourself - 20 minutes under the tap is ideal. NEVER ice or vinegar or milk or butter or mustard or toothpaste or sunscreen or semen or vaseline or tomatoes or vanilla extract or yogurt or sour cream or egg white or lavender oil or cocoa butter - not until the skin is fully healed! ignore anyone who advises any of these!i would advise that you cover the burnt area with sterile paraffin wax or aqueous cream bp. (check the links below and see if you can find a local equivalent)cover the burnt area in paraffin wax after cleaning and removing any burst blisters - these are just sites of infection and will take longer to heal. wash and reapply every 4-6 hours - cover with cling wrap if you wish to cover with clothes - this will stop your clothes getting covered with paraffin and maintains the burn.cling wrap alone is ok if you can't get hold of any paraffin. it also acts as a protective artificial skin - helping retain moisture and protect from further damage and pain. cling wrap is cheap and clean off the roll. in Australia ambulances often use this when someone has been burnt.paraffin creates a seal stopping water leaving the body and reduces pain as it protects sensitised nerves. the paraffin imitates the natural oils secreted by the skin. skin cells are better able to multiply and regenerate with this treatment. pain is also helped. make sure you buy plenty of this paraffin - as the burn heals switch to aqueous cream bp.(aqueous cream has a bunch of paraffin in it plus some moisturisers - look out for stuff that also contains sorbolene or glycerine as these help also). following this regime definitely will help your sunburn heal faster and peel less. aloe is good coz it remoisturises but that moisture can be quickly lost as the skin can't contain fluids- this is a function of healthy skin.so put aloe on, and then the paraffin on over the top as long as there is no broken skin this works great. if there is broken skin leave out the aloe - just paraffin.long term treatment to prevent scarring or loss of function due to contractures(as skin heals it can tighten reducing how much you can move - a skin graft is necessary to repair this). daily moisturiser, daily stretches - talk to a physio, pressure bandages like tubigrip, massaging the scar. this all reduce/flatten the scar and minimise the need for further treatment/surgery. http://www.doorone.com.au/xgs-aqueous_cr...http://www.pharmacyonline.com.au/david-c...hope this helps - let me know how you go and what similar brands/alternatives are available in your area email if you still have questions - send photos
