Never heard of it, ever.  Advice here is to put breastmilk on the 
nipple, or a little vaseline.

We used to say rub soap on burns, and then that got thrown out for 
butter, or maybe butter on burns was replaced by soap... but now burns 
is 5 mins of cold running water, and cling film (saran wrap) for really 
bad scalds.

I too went "Owie!"

The thinking, as I understand it, is "Hey, this is skin, and anywhere else on the body if there were broken skin we'd be keeping it clean."  Are other countries not doing this?
