Question:
Answers:
oh god, i burnt myself with an iron two years ago. get it taken care of right away, if its very bad go to the emergency room but right now run cool, not cold, water over a minor first degree burn. then, put some aloe vera on it. check the burned area daily for infection. signs of infection include: increasing pain, pus, increasing redness, swellings or any kind of discharge. If you see these signs go to a doctor right away.
dont apply butter or oil to it, they may sound soothing but donttt!
ever hear of the ER? use it
Don't take it off. Tashia tested, doctor approved.

The reason it hurts is because you've been using ice for 4 hours.
put some olive oil on it
Go to the hospital... you may have a 2nd degree burn you need to get it checked out. You don't want an ifection to rage in your system. And they'll give you something for the pain to.
You shouldn't leave the ice on for that long becasue you can get damaged nerves from the ice. I hope you have something protecting your arm between the ice pack and your skin. It will hurt becasue its a burn. Ice doesn't cure the pain, just lessens it for a bit and reduce swelling.
as long as it isnt to dad just deal with it get on with life if you are doing somthing you other then just trying to get it to stop hurting you get your mind off it and it sops hurting
the only thing that I know of that will make i feel better is solarcaine spray or some other sunburn relief spray... other than that, it's just gonna hurt for a few days :(
That is normal...I grabbed the wrong end of the iron and had my hands soaking in cold water but every time I took them out they would start stinging...slowly reduce the amount of time you have the ice there or just take it off and take the pain like a man cuz once the pain gets to a certain point it stops getting worse
First-degree burns are red and painful. They swell a little. They turn white when you press on the skin. The skin over the burn may peel off after 1 or 2 days.
Thicker burns, called second-degree burns, have blisters and are painful. The skin is very red or splotchy, and it may swell a lot.
Third-degree burns cause damage to all layers of the skin. The burned skin looks white or charred. These burns may cause little or no pain because the nerves in the skin are damaged.
First-degree burn
Soak the burn in cool water. Then treat it with a skin care product like aloe vera cream or an antibiotic ointment. To protect the burned area, you can put a dry gauze bandage over the burn. Take an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as acetaminophen (one brand name: Tylenol), ibuprofen (some brand names: Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (brand name: Aleve), to help with the pain.
Second-degree burn
Soak the burn in cool water for 15 minutes. If the burned area is small, put cool, clean, wet cloths on the burn for a few minutes every day. Then put on an antibiotic cream, or other creams or ointments prescribed by your doctor. Cover the burn with a dry nonstick dressing (for example, Telfa) held in place with gauze or tape. Check with your doctor's office to make sure you are up-to-date on tetanus shots.
Change the dressing every day. First, wash your hands with soap and water. Then gently wash the burn and put antibiotic ointment on it. If the burn area is small, a dressing may not be needed during the day. Check the burn every day for signs of infection, such as increased pain, redness, swelling or pus. If you see any of these signs, see your doctor right away. To prevent infection, avoid breaking any blisters that form.
Burned skin itches as it heals. Keep your fingernails cut short and don't scratch the burned skin. The burned area will be sensitive to sunlight for up to one year.
Third-degree burn
For third-degree burns, go to the hospital right away. Don't take off any clothing that is stuck to the burn. Don't soak the burn in water or apply any ointment. You can cover the burn with a sterile bandage or clean cloth until you receive medical assistance
go to the drug store and gets some medicine for burns. it works! lol!
Quit with the ice. It is actually harmful to apply ice to a burn or any other living tissue for more than a few minutes. Haven't you ever heard of frostbite?
Ice can be applied to a burn for a few minutes to rapidly cool the flesh and prevent further damage. After that, it can certainly help reduce some of the pain, but it won't heal things.
Your only option now is to keep the burned area clean and dry and take motrin or tylenol for the pain. And yes, it will hurt anyway - the motrin and/or tylenol will only lessen, not eliminate the pain. The damaged tissue must heal, and it will do that in it's own good time - you CAN NOT hurry it along. And you'll surely remember to be more careful around that stove from now on, won't you.
how deep is the burn? is it just red? or did a blister form? or did it reach deeper into the skin?
how big is the burn?
1st degree and superficial partial thickness burns are usually painful because the pain receptors of the nerves are still intact.
general burn care involves cleaning the wound with a very mild soap and covering it with a combination of moist dressing over the wound and a dry outer bandage. in case of superficial thickness burns, you may use colloidal dressings which not only protect the wound but also facilitate epithelialization of the wound.
you may take analgesics like meloxicam or diclofenac for the pain. the ice just temporarily numbs out the pain.
you may also want to have your tetanus shots updated if you havnt had any for the last 10 years
if the area of the burn > the size of your palm, go to the ER
When I burn myself, I use mustard.
this really works ( I burnt my hand REAL bad with steam once) take some baking soda and a wet wash cloth... pile the baking soda on the wash cloth and wet it just enough to make a thick wet paste ... put this on the burn ( paste against the burn) and keep the wash cloth wet by sprinkling water on it. i promise you this will help
Run it under hot water. The cold will shock the burn and make it worse. Once the redness has gone down then you can ice it. If you want relief right away put a room-temperature steak on it.
Ice a long as you can stand it then let it warm up again and start over, Ive done this numerous times with burns and it always works, but let me say this : If this is a bad burn or it even looks at all like its getting infected see a doctor right away and you probably should do that anyway instead of getting advice from a bunch of people you don't know for a medical condition.
If you live in the southwest try Aloe Vera plant. I burned my hand on a griddle once and someone gave me some to sooth the pain . The next day it was almost completely gone.
Great stuff, it's best the plant itself. I don't know if a store bought extract will work as well.Might be watered down. Good Luck
