Answers:

cold water is the best first aid when you burn yourself - 20 minutes under the tap is ideal. NEVER ice or vinegar or milk or butter or mustard or toothpaste or sunscreen or semen or vaseline or vanilla extract - not until it is fully healed!

cling wrap is also a good idea, it will protect the burn, reduce pain and reduce fluid loss. it is clean straight off the roll and if an ambulance picked you up in australia this is exactly what they would do - after they got rid of the ice and just used cold water

email if you still have questions - send photos
