Answer 1

~~Soak your thump in a cup of water with a couple of ice cubes for 15 minutes at a time. If you have regular chapstick (flavored won't work), then keep it on there too, for some reason it helps with the pain. The cold water will keep bringing the heat out.~~

Answer 2

it'll heal but may leave a mark......

maybe you'll be a little wiser to the world now  

Answer 3

for all burns soak it in alcohol it will take away the burn instantly and you can also use a aloe plant juice to use for healing.

Answer 4

OUCH....I always keep some aloe vera gel in my fridge, it seems to always help.
