The colgate toothpaste for burns really does work, I have been using it for as long as I can remember. It has to be regular old colgate, the original kind. You have to put it on the burn immediately and be prepared it will hurt like hell at first, but the results are great-no blister. I keep a tube in the kitchen for just that as I am accident waiting to happen, in other words I am a klutz.
Don't know about the other stuff, wouldn't have believed the colgate but I grew up using it for burns. Works for me.
