Answers:
It shouldn't get infected if you keep the burned area very clean, and keep it submerged in cool water as long as you can and then keep a damp cool towel on it afterward!. You can get some aloe vera and rub it on there, and there are also some special ointments for burns if you really want to put something on it!. I'm sure it will heal up fine though!. Ouch burns huuuurt though! Feel better!. :o(Www@Answer-Health@Com
if you burned yourself to the white meat, you need to go to the doctor asap!. the protective layer of skin has been burned off and now you are more open for infections!. also it will reduce the risk of scarring!. you can recieve antibotics and pain relief via the doctor!. it may not hurt now, but when you go to bed you'll be in so much pain!. so take my advice!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
take off the cold water and put room temp water on it!. cover it with a wet gauze dressing and keep it moist and change it often!. u have a 2nd degree burn!. i would also see your dr in the morning!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
OUCH!!
You should wash and dry the area thoroughly (but carefully), then put neosporin ointment and a bandaid over it!. You can use a gauze pad if the area is too big for bandaids!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
