Cuts/Scrapes on my hand BURNING?!
Question: I fell off of my bike earlier today... I feel on my palms and both are badly scraped up. Both hands are burning like crazy, it's 2:21... and I haven't been able to sleep because of it. It's also very difficult and painful to move both hands. I had to bike a few miles after I fell to get back home, and when I did I put bactine and neosporin on them but still nothing is really helping and it's really painful. Does anyone have any suggestions as to help the burning stop and make it so I can move my hands again without limitation and pain? Thanks!

If you can take a panadol, maybe that would help and go and get the wounds dressed properly. Maybe it is something to do with the hands being sensitive in terms of nerve endings for what hands are required to do by the body. Sounds like there would be an infection risk, but I imagine you would notice signs of that happening and you have but antiseptic on them. If you can't stand it, I agree about going to emergency now, though that might take a while too. Good luck, hope it gets better soon.
you may have an infection and a bad one go to the emergeny now!!!
put a cold or warm towel on your hand. some people prefer cold some prefer warm. for me both works.
or put ice it may burn at first but after awhile it numbs the pain.
Clean The Cuts Then Use An Anticeptic Cream
