I burned my stomach on my hot water bottle

Question

I went to sleep with it on my stomach, and this morning I've woken up with a bright red burn mark. It's right where my trousers sit, and I'm at work at the moment, so I can't not wear them.

What is the best thing I can do to soothe it? I have been told not to use creams, as the oil will make it worse. There is a first aid kit here, but nothing for burns.

Answer 1

you will be fine! Just use a cool cloth on it!  

Answer 2

has it blistered if not dont worry so much about it, it will go away with in the day, trust me i have had experience in almost every way you can burn your self lol

Answer 3

Go see doctor

Answer 4

Assuming the skin is not burned through and is only red and painful:  You can use cool compresses, clean towels or paper towels soaked in very cool water and then applied to the burn is safe and will be soothing.  You can also take an over the counter pain reliever.  People don't think about popping a Tylenol or aspirin for pain like that, but it can really help.

Answer 5

There's this stuff called burn jel which works really well!

Answer 6

I'm italian...

Answer 7

Ozonol works really well on burns-and the next time you use a hot water bottle, wrap a tea towel around it before you use it, that will protect your skin-also, don't put boiling water in it, just hot tap water-i wouldn't bother going to the doctor-its just red, not blistered-just try the Ozonal cream.
