Burn treatment help.
Attempted to blow up the school because why not, and ended up burning both my arms, and my chest in the process. (i'm guessing it was from the blast of the grenades) Whats the best way to treat burns and how long do they take to heal?

Keep bandages clean. Perhaps forage up a poultice. Watch for infection and treat that properly. Time depends on many factors. It will heal eventually if you don't die first.

What recipe do I need for the poultice, and do I need a specific foraging / medical level?

It's like in real life - long process. You can read skill book by the way.
First days will be painful, so you should have sleeping pills and/or painkillers to fall asleep.
Apply and change bandages constantly, clean wounds (dry and clean wound - no infection), watch for infection, apply poultices.
When I kept my buddy well-fed it took less time to heal.
Don't get burnt!

Simply apply bengay to the balls for quick and easy healing.

I just threw a fire bomb into a full liquor store. The bomb went off as predicted, but as I was running away from the building I heard a 2nd explosion and the entire building burst into intense flames. I didnt know the bourbon bottles caused secondary explosions. Neat!
Cotton balls can be used to clean burns.

If you have the food, you can burn through it to stay well fed/stuffed as much as you can-but it's such a long wait that...you may as well focus on passing the time with your curtains closed and saving your food. It...shouldn't be as long as the MODDED burn-ward burns, iirc (and those can take about a month to heal), but they still take a long time.
