Answers:
Tepid (room-temperature) water for a long time!. No ice, creams, gels, butter, or any other "home remedy" is reccommended anymore, as they've found all they do is hold the heat in & make the burn worse (ice actually causes frostbite)!. Take some tylenol or ibuprofen or something for pain, and keep running water over it!. If it does blister DON'T pop it!. Seriously, if it was only one finger, I wouldn't go to the ER, as they're not going to do anything for you anyway!.
Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
