What to do about a burn? Please help!? I went to get the pizza out of the oven and the pan burnt my finger through a damp towel. I%26#039;ve been told not to put ice on it. But its burning and hurting like crazy. Any home remedies for burns? Please help!

Best Answer

run it under cool water till it stops hurting. it may take a while. DO NOT ice it. if it blisters dont pop any of them. cover with a loose sterile bandage to keep infection out. you can use medication as long as there are no open spots volunteer firefighter

Yes, dont put ice on it because it will %26quot;trap the heat%26quot;

Anything that is cold, but not constant to allow the heat to escape would be the best remedy.

Try putting it under the sink for 5 minutes.

Burn creams and ointments assist the healing process and some may contain anesthetics to numb the pain, but if you dont have any i%26#039;d say just leave it under water. We get minor burns all the time at the workplace
Soak in in a bowl of cold water for about 15 minutes. Put some aloe vera gel on it (the best is if you have a plant, break a piece off and use the gel that comes out) then wrap in in a breathable cover like gauze. There is also some burn cream you can get from the doctor that contains silver, it is called silver sulfadiazine cream that works great.
