Answers:

ooh ouch! after rinsing it with a hard stream of icy water, one of the best treatments is to apply a lubricant to the area, such as vaseline or cold cream (recent studies have said not to use butter or vegetable fat). Other ointments that have anesthetic in them such as nupercaine or pontocaine are even better because they help ereileve the pain. a clean bandage should then be placed over everything. Then you should go to the doctor. The old methods of strong tea or strong anticeptics are NOT recomended b/c they can iritate it.
