Answer 1

All you can do is keep running it under cold water. This creates the best chance of avoiding a scar. I will assume an adult is not home. You should get some stuff called burn gel that will help as soon as you can (it's available at the drug store). It is made from aloe and it will help your burn to heal.

Answer 2

First-degree burn
The least serious burns are those in which only the outer layer of skin (epidermis) is burned. The skin is usually red, with swelling and pain sometimes present. The outer layer of skin hasn't been burned through. Treat a first-degree burn as a minor burn unless it involves substantial portions of the hands, feet, face, groin or buttocks, or a major joint.

Second-degree burn
When the first layer of skin has been burned through and the second layer of skin (dermis) also is burned, the injury is termed a second-degree burn. Blisters develop and the skin takes on an intensely reddened, splotchy appearance. Second-degree burns produce severe pain and swelling.

If the second-degree burn is no larger than 2 to 3 inches in diameter, treat it as a minor burn. If the burned area is larger or if the burn is on the hands, feet, face, groin or buttocks, or over a major joint, get medical help immediately.

For minor burns, including second-degree burns limited to an area no larger than 2 to 3 inches in diameter, take the following action:

Cool the burn. Hold the burned area under cold running water for at least 5 minutes, or until the pain subsides. If this is impractical, immerse the burn in cold water or cool it with cold compresses. Cooling the burn reduces swelling by conducting heat away from the skin. Don't put ice on the burn.
Cover the burn with a sterile gauze bandage. Don't use fluffy cotton, which may irritate the skin. Wrap the gauze loosely to avoid putting pressure on burned skin. Bandaging keeps air off the burned skin, reduces pain and protects blistered skin.
Take an over-the-counter pain reliever. These include aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others), naproxen (Aleve) or acetaminophen (Tylenol, others). Never give aspirin to children or teenagers.
Minor burns usually heal without further treatment. They may heal with pigment changes, meaning the healed area may be a different color from the surrounding skin. Watch for signs of infection, such as increased pain, redness, fever, swelling or oozing. If infection develops, seek medical help. Avoid re-injuring or tanning if the burns are less than a year old — doing so may cause more extensive pigmentation changes. Use sunscreen on the area for at least a year.

Caution

Don't use ice. Putting ice directly on a burn can cause frostbite, further damaging your skin.
Don't break blisters. Broken blisters are vulnerable to infection.

Answer 3

Whatever you do, don't put any oil or grease-based products (such as Vaseline or Neosporin) on it, they will only seal in the heat and make any attempts at pain relief pointless. The best thing to do is periodically run your finger under cold water and apply some aloe (or the aloe with lidocaine). If it starts to blister, seek medical attention.

Answer 4

If you really wanna stop the burn, run the burn under warm water. Make it as warm as you can stand it. It will burn like hell for about a minute, then it will stop. This way, you will be able to take a shower and wash dishes in hot water without it burning. This is how you temper a burn.

Answer 5

You just have to be patient. It may blister but it sounds like a minor burn. I know it is painful. Look in the medicine cabinet and see if you have a spray for burns. If you do then spray some on the burn and it will help. Ice sometimes helps but it will still burn for awhile after you take the ice off. If you aren't alergic to aspirin you could take one for the pain.

Answer 6

How long ago did you do this? Call your mom! Put it a cup of ice, maybe put some Aloe Vera on it. The best thing you could do id put your finger in a cup of ice for as long as you can, it will stop the burning.

Answer 7

Get it in a bowl of cold water right now and keep it there. After several hours the pain will ease. But you must keep in the cold water. That is the best thing you can do.

Answer 8

DO NOT USE: ice, butter, margarine, vaseline.
Soak it in cold water, NOT running water.
After awhile, at least an hour,pure aloe vera or pure vitamin E will help it heal faster and prevent scarring.

Answer 9

soke it in ice whate for 2min and than take it out for 1min
one it feels a little better put some cream for burns on it it u doin have any just put some patrolam jelly.
Good luck with your burn!!!

Answer 10

It hurts horribly doesnt it you just have to hold a cold rag on it whenever it starts hurting or but some antibiotic gel on it or something.
