Healing a burnt finger?!
Question: When I was getting spaghetti and picking up the spatula, I touched the metal part of the spatula, which was very hot due to being over heat. I touched it and my finger hurts! I keep ice on it, but it still hurts when I take it off my finger. How do I heal it?

Keep putting the ice on it or submerge it in ice water. Ouch! I know how painful kitchen burns can be. It will take some time, but the ice/ice water will help a lot.
If it's an open burn, you may want to apply some antibacterial ointment and a bandage after the initial burning is alleviated.
There are also prescription burn creams if it is severe enough.
Good luck! Burns hurt! Hope that helps.

remove the ice and use cool water. treat the pain with advil and keep the burn clean and dry. don't pop any blisters and let it heal.
