Does Colgate Toothpaste makes an excellent salve for burns?
Toothpaste contains abrasives, which can irritate and damage the delicate skin of a burn. Additionally, the fluoride in toothpaste can cause further irritation.
If you must apply a home remedy to a burn, choose something that will help soothe the area, such as aloe vera gel or cool water.
