How to get rid of the pain of a burn?!
Question: How to get rid of the pain of a burn?
I was trying to curl my hair and stupid me accidentally burned my finger on the straightener. UGH! It really hurts and I'm only 11 so I don't have much tolerance for pain... HELP.
P.S. it's 12 a.m. so I can't really go downstairs to get some ice...

Don't put ice on a burn. It will only make it worse. Take a washcloth and wet it with cool water and then wrap it around your finger. This will take the heat out of the burn. You will probably have a blister in a day or so but leave it alone and do not pop it. That is your body's way of protecting the new skin that is growing in at the area of the burn. I hope you feel better soon.

ice or cold water, thats about it
