I just burnt my finger???

Question

I just burnt my finger on my hair straightener and ive been running it under cold water what else should i do to it? and how long until it stops burning??

Answer 1

When I burnt my figure on the oven it got really red. I put it in a bowl of cold water and it felt really good. But once you take it out it starts burning. I also have this aloe vera burn stuff that makes it feel really good. Try some aloe vera :)

Oh and mine didnt stop burning until the next day after I went to sleep and then after that it feels like plastic.

Answer 2

how deep is it? if its just red, just put a bandaid on it and maybe some neosporin.

if there are blisters or if you can see white stuff or bone, go to the ER

Answer 3

you could wrap a piece of ice in a washcloth or paper towel and hold it on your finger

Answer 4

ok if its just red, its a 1st degree burn and it will go away in about a week, run it under cool water until it feels better, then you can wrap it in a band-aid, some gauze, or you can leave it be, what ever feels better.

if there is a blister, it is a 2nd degree burn, a little more serious, but nothing to worry about, do the same thing as above but Keep it wrapped loosely in a bandage or whatever.

...and there is no way its a third degree (i can tell by your symptoms) so you dont have to go to the ER/doctor unless it looks infected...

Answer 5

put some aloe vera gel on it it helps
