I had 2ed degree burns all across my back about 3-4 summers ago. The biggest boo boo I made was put the aloe-vera after burn on it. It dryed up & caused my skin to harden & shrink. I couldn't remove my shirt for a month, couldn't bathe for the month & it was summer time & I was still at school. The pain was unreal. I had to sleep on my belly at night (which was ok) but then I had to slither off my bed, because I couldn't move my shoulder at all.

I leter went to see the Dr. & he gave me a cream to put on it, it made if feel much nicer, but it still took 3 months to heal. It left brown dots all across my back & when I get a small sun burn (like right now) the dots get really really dark & nasty... I'm a very white person, & now my back doesn't match the rest of me.. oi evil sun.

I just wish I knew what the name of the cream was so I could tell you.
