I’m afraid I have been part of misleading the readers about burn treatment. Water-Jel Burn Jel is wonderful but there is a reason:

The Web article Men’s Health listed “The 20 Best Medicines for Men.” They listed Solarcaine as their best choice. This has 20% Benzocaine. REI sells a spray called “Burn Spray” that also has Benzocaine. It does not work very well. There was a boy that burned his hand on a campfire rock. Also one of my sons burned his hand and I used this spray and they both said it did not help much.

Water Jel Burn Jel has 2% Lidocaine HCL. I used this on my sons and it worked great. My big first-aid kit also has a pump bottle of “burn spray” that is also 2% Lidocaine. I also used this on one of my sons on a different occasion. This also worked great.

Any “burn” product with Benzocaine will not work well. Any “burn” product with Lidocaine will work very well.

The point I wanted to make: use Lidocaine for burns.
