       Soothing the Burn

       It is a common premise of spanking fiction that the pain of
       corporal punishment lingers well past the time of its
       infliction. Another premise of fiction is that a victim can
       alleviate the discomfort through various remedies.
       Because I'm a spanko, I tend to enjoy the after effects of
       consensual cp. I don't recall much lingering discomfort from the
       mild cp I experienced as a child. I certainly never sought
       relief beyond giving the area a brief rub. I've done a little
       experimentation with remedies as an adult, mostly out of
       curiosity. I've never found one that really did much good. In
       fact, the application of lotions and creams just felt icky and
       seemed more irritating than leaving the skin alone. The most
       disappointing failure was burn gel that had lidocaine in it.
       However, that's my experience. I recognize that others'
       experiences may be different.
       In various stories I've read or written, I've seen wet
       flannels/wash cloths, sunburn lotion with aloe vera, witch
       hazel, cold cream, and udder cream put forth as remedies.
       Has anyone found a remedy that brings relief in real life? Also,
       what would be your feeling about allowing a child who'd been
       spanked, caned, switched, etc. to use a soothing remedy
       afterwards?

       Witch hazel is an astringent.  I'd think it would burn on fresh
       spanked skin.
       In general, I think it's the thud that tends to last longer.
       For reference and clarity, we use the terms 'thud' to describe
       the deep ache of a heavy paddling, and in contrast to 'sting' or
       'burn' which is more a surface pain, but which also tends to
       build and not numb out as quickly as thud.
       I do think sting fades fairly quickly, no matter how intense it
       is, and thus any aftercare beyond a rub doesn't do a lot of
       good.
       Keep in mind that a spanking does damage the skin.  Most of the
       time, that damage is just like you'd get from a very hot shower
       in the winter or from being out in the sun a little too long,
       but not long enough to get a burn.  It's a dryness and a slight
       tightness.  I'd think sunburn lotion and some ointments would
       tend to help with that, and they might help recovery be a bit
       faster, but I doubt they'll be much to really relieve the sting.
       Contrariwise, the best thing to help with the ache from thud
       would probably be a deep heat ointment, which might be
       contraindicated after you've just been spanked.

       I know nothing of ointments that help with spanking pain.
       Something that numbs the area (on the order of Orajel) would
       seem logical for relief, but as for knowing for sure. I don't.
       As Jack said, the thick paddled Thud whipping, especially if it
       bruises seemed to last the longest on me as a boy.  The more
       bruising the longer I suffered.  Obviously in today's world,
       bruising a boy is not acceptable even in spanking states.
       I'll add to Jack's thud with thin belts, that leave welts.  The
       pain of the welts lasts longer than the bruises of the thud, in
       my experience. Welts rubbing against jeans hurt like a mother.
       Again, not allowed in todays society.  Not allowed to leave
       lasting marks.
       I have experimented on myself with the thin quarter inch lexan
       paddle for sting.  It does supply a fiery sting.  I have read
       stories about how the fire stays with you for days.  In my
       experience it doesn't. (But it is difficult to give yourself a
       hard enough spanking to really get a good test).  There is a
       tingling feeling that lasts for days.  You know you were paddled
       and have a lasting warm glow for days.  But the intense fire
       only lasted during and a short time after my experimentations.
       Jack uses the lexan as a discipline tool, and would know more
       about how it lasts after an actual disciplinary paddling.

       I have always had the idea that witch hazel is good for bruises
       and damaged skin. Now I think of it, that of course does not
       necessarily mean it would soothe when applied.

       Here is a link to an article about the benefits/effects of witch
       hazel.
  HTML https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/witch-hazel-benefits-uses#section1
       Based on the article, but not on personal experience, I don't
       think witch hazel would burn. For those who don't want to read
       the article, witch hazel has anti-inflammatory effects and
       soothes irritation.

       Speaking as a doc, we apply witch hazel to inflamed mucus
       membranes--it's the treatment of choice for hemorrhoids, and the
       active ingredient in Tucks wipes.  So no, it shouldn't burn.
       Whether it actually relieves the burn of a spanking, I couldn't
       say.

       I never had it but I imagine that rather like trating a cut
       something like iodine on cane stripes might help after of course
       the immediate period after application. Sitting in a pool may
       help

       Tincture of Iodine (Iodine dissolved in alcohol) is an
       old-fashioned antiseptic popular in the 1940s because there were
       few alternatives.  Applied to broken skin, it was extremely
       painful.  It would indeed kill bacteria to keep the wound from
       becoming infected, but it wasn't soothing.

       Iodine burns, it doesn't soothe.  A friend who was often
       switched in childhood reported her mother would paint her with
       Tincture of Merthiolate--she'd go to school bright orange, and
       everyone knew what had happened.  Merthiolate contains mercury,
       is toxic, and is no longer used at all.  I began medical
       practice in 1978, and never once used Tincture of Iodine in all
       the years I practiced.

       My mom used Mercurochrome when I was a kid, and I remember
       hating it because it burned like mad.  She said that proved it
       was working.
       I will admit I'm a bit confused, because both that and Tincture
       of Merthiolate still seem to be on sale, though 'mercury free'
       these days, so I've no idea if they'd still burn like they once
       did.
