3 Yr. old with rug burn, any relief?


My 3 year old daughter had a fit today (like every day) and decided to drag her forehead across our carpeted living room floor. She was fine with bandaids but I took them off to give her a bath and now she is miserable. Are there any home remedies or medications to help. I am a nurse but I cannot think of anything but neosporin to treat it with. I attempted aloe vera cream but she said it was "yucky". I guess it was too thick for her to accept. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, my baby is uncomfortable.

The only things I can think of, are going to be yucky for her since she found aloe vera yucky. But I am going to share them with you just in case.
This home remedies heal and prevent scars.

*Green Clay mix with water. (make a paste and put it to the affected area).
*Onions (shredded)
*Aloe Vera

My favorite one is Green Clay, because it doesn't smell, cuts the pain on contact and it leaves the skin like nothing ever happened there. (No scars what so ever, and if the wound was too big, you can barely notice the scar after it heals).

I hope she feels better! :)

if aloe vera doesnt work then all you can really use is cold water.

Maybe give her a wee bit of Tylenol for the pain at the site.

All you can do is keep it clean, try not to let anything rub against it and use Neosporin on it. Bandaids arent a great idea on rug burn, it needs air.

Also, just make the tub a lukewarm one and use a really gentle soap.

ask a doctor (if you are a nurse you work with doctors right).....

thats funny that she dragged her head on the carpet lol(not the part that she got burned though) little kids are so funny!
