well i can be a total klutz about stuff like that (I actually put a lighter to my lip once on accident still have the scar!) oxygen to the wound is what really hurts so get some aloe..and if you don't have one laying around take some aspirin, and put your burn into some running water that way it won't get that much air on it. Good luck! I know it hurts so bad!

NO BUTTER!!! cool running water, standing water in a glass will keep the infected water in contact with the burn so run cool water from a facuet then let it air dry once its dry loosly wrap some gauze over it with a burn onitment on the affected area hope this helps

The holiday to the wellbeing care provider enables you, too. you are able to coach you're looking after your infant. additionally, throw away all your glass cookware and purchase borosilicate glass as a exchange. i grew to become into studying this those days, or perhaps Pyrex variety isn't created from borosilicate anymore. Borosilicate is the stuff pyrex was created from, and it continues to be utilized in labs because it tolerates severe temps and can withstand the circumstances you defined. Any kitchen glass could be borosilicate. in case you question me the human beings who sell the different stuff are evil.

Cool water, and then something like Neosporin burn ointment. But do not but butter or oil on it like old wives' tales. That will seal the heat in. You can cover it for a day or two, but then let it breathe and keep it clean. When it turns to a blister, try to let it go instead of poking at it.

We've all done stupid things like this then wondered why, we did it in the first place, but I guess you have figured that out already. Aloe Vera, or Lavender Oil is brilliant on burns such as this. Good Luck.
