Run cold water over the burn and then seek medical assitance as we do not know how bad the burn is. Hope this helps. God Bless!!

run cold water over it, do not cover it as if the skin is damaged it will stick to the cover and tear off when u remove it.
While u r runnin the cold water ring ur doctor or the emergancy services if its a bad burn. Or get someone else in the house to call them.

Wet a towel with cool water and apply it to your leg after wringing it out well. Repeat as towel becomes warm. If you see it is going to blister, see a doctor. You may need a prescription for a preparation called Silvadene. Good luck!

First, say #%$#, then put nothing but some cold, clean water on it. If it has a blister, do not "pop" it purposely. Try a Tyelenol or Asprin ( pending allergies) later if it still hurts. Sorry, that hurts! Nothing but water!

PUT ICE ON IT!!! If it continues call a doctor or your health insurance they usually have RNs on call they can tell you more.
