and i was pouring tea and the cap fell off and the hot water fell on
2 of my fingers. I put my hand in cold water and it worked. And now theres like this bubble on one of my fingers. (pinky)
What shud I do after the bubble pops?
and do minor burns ever heal?


Answers:

Sounds like you have a second-degree burn. Be thankful that it hurts -- it's when a burn DOESN'T hurt that you have to worry. For now, use cold water or ice for pain, and you can take Tylenol or Advil too (doesn't help me much, but it helps some people). When the blister pops, put a Band-Aid on it and use bacitracin or some type of antibiotic ointment to prevent infection. The good news is minor burns heal.
