Answers:
With any burn, the first thing to do is immediately run cool water over it or soak it in cool water!. Your skin will continue to burn once the heat source is removed due to the heat trapped in the tissue!. Cool water will stop the burning and prevent the burn from increasing in severity!.
Speaking of severity, I have no idea what Hella is talking about; first degree burns are very minor (think sunburn), second degree are more serious (blisters), and third degree are the worst and most severe, where there is full-thickness burning, charring, destruction of nerves, etc!.
So: cool water for at least 15 minutes!. Do not apply anything greasy to the burn as that can trap heat and make it worse!. Honey may help the burn, it draws the heat out of it!. First-aid creams made for burns will also help!. You can leave the burn unbandaged to allow air to get to it!. If it blisters, do not break the blisters!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Leave it a lone, it is probably a third degree burn and not as serious as a second or first!. You should apply some cream on it or nepsprian to help with the burns!. If you don't have either of these try a home remedy of toothpaste, it works well in releving and help cope with burns!. Don't banage it, let the wound breathj to prevent infection!. If there is pain take a pain killer like advil!. Good luck :HELLAWww@Answer-Health@Com

I have a burn on my arm where I left my straight iron on my arm without realising, it blistered and scarred quite badly, I now have no feeling in the surrounding area!.
Hopefully yours is not so bad!.!.!.
