From my personal experience, I'd suggest unsalted butter. I got 2nd degree burns on my face when deep frying VADA. I immediately applied honey. After 2 hours, I applied unsalted butter and repeated applying everytime my skin got dried up. Was on Antibiotics for 3 days. I was applying butter for 20 days and thanks to butter, I got my old face back.

hi, she can use MEBO ointment. A thin layer of Mebo ointment should cover the whole burn part and renewed 3-4 times daily. any way, im a licensed pharmacist - if u have any question feel free to ask - - -

check Burnol Ointment in pharmacy for healing the burn. once the burn is healed, use fair n lovely cream which will help in removing scar. (not a highly professional advice)
