Well i was burning a tree stump 2 get rid of it because it is 2 heavy for the garbage people to get it. It was being burnt over sand and i tripped over a stick and my hand landed in the sand. The sand was really hot and i burnt my middle finger on my right hand. It is now blistering and burning. What should i do?

If your finger hurts, you have a second-degree burn. Go see your doctor, and for now keep it wrapped up. You can ice it and take Tylenol for the pain in the meantime. If your finger DOESN'T hurt, you have a third-or-fourth degree burn -- get to urgent care or your nearest emergency room ASAP.

cool water... NO ice. Don't pop it, if you need to pop it, get a needle and sterilize it with some alcohol and just put a small hole on the very side of the blister. cover it with bandaid to prevent infection....don't tear the skin from the blister off....and don't use ice!!!!

aloe Vera plant
u can get some medication with it in it or u can get the actual plant and break off a stem and rub the juice on the burn
never put grease or butter this is only an old wives's tale
