Answers:
cold water is the best thing when you burn yourself - 20 minutes under the tap is ideal. never ice or vinegar or milk or butter.
13 hours later now so i would advise that you cover the burnt area with sterile paraffin wax or aqueous cream bp or solugel. (thats in order or recommendation).
cover the burnt area in paraffin wax after cleaning and removing any burst blisters - these are just sites of infection and will take longer to heal. wash and reapply every 4-6 hours - cover with cling wrap if you wish to cover with clothes - this will stop your clothes getting covered with paraffin and maintains the burn.
paraffin creates a seal stopping water leaving the body and reduces pain as it protects sensitised nerves. the paraffin imitates the natural oils secreted by the skin. skin cells are better able to multiply and regenerate with this treatment. pain is also helped. make sure you buy plenty of this paraffin - as the burn heals switch to aqueous cream bp.
