First, gently rinse your leg under cool, running water for 15 to 20 minutes to ensure all detergent residue is completely gone. Wash the area gently with mild soap. Do not pop any blisters. Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to keep the skin moist, and cover it with a clean, non-stick bandage. For pain, you can take over-the-counter acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Please seek medical attention immediately if the burn is larger than three inches, starts oozing pus, or if you develop a fever. You will get through this, but keep a close eye on it.

A single white spot on your baby's cheek is very common and usually harmless. In winter, this is often just dry, chapped skin or a mild, temporary loss of pigment from drool or dry air (sometimes called pityriasis alba). To treat it safely, apply a thin layer of plain, fragrance-free petroleum jelly or a gentle, hypoallergenic baby moisturiser to protect the skin. Avoid using any medicated or steroid creams without a paediatrician's guidance. Please have your paediatrician examine the spot if it spreads, becomes red, flaky, or seems to cause your baby any discomfort.
