hi dannii

i would take your self to the dr  they can give you burn cream to put on it when my son burnt his foot on a motor bike they gave him this cream and it is wonderful and heals really fast

The suggestions everyone else have given just about cover everything, but there are a couple of things I would like to add.

What you have is called a second degree burn, and it will more than likely blister in the next few days, if it hasn't by now.  The reason for not popping the blisters is because the fluid inside provides a natural protection against infection as well as cushioning to prevent irritation on the rest of the skin.

Once you have had your hand bandaged, it is important that you keep using it.  This will help to keep the blood flow going and quicken the healing process.  Not using the hand will mean you run the risk of a slower recovery and infection.

When you are resting the hand, try and keep it lower than your heart to keep as much blood flow as possible going to it.

When bathing, you will need to keep the hand out of the water, same with doing dishes.  While it was water that caused the burn, it is not advisable to allow hot or even warm water to come into contact with the burnt area again.  The reason being that it will reburn and actually dry out the protective blisters.

I burnt my hand with hot toffee straight from the pot very ouch, any how, put it under cold runnin water cos if you put it in still water the heat will radiate from your hand and warm the water up, if you have bepanthem that will be ok to use on it as well then apply a bandage. As some one else said if it blisters do NOT pop them.

  aww i really feel for iv done that a few times.

what brand nappy cream do u have? certain brands act like a burn cream especially if it has zinc. like the others said try very cold water.

Hey Dannii,

I would do as Em suggested, stick your hand in some really cold water.   If your hand starts to blister then I would suggest that a trip to the Doc would be in order, just to be on the save side.  

If it does blister DO NOT pop the blisters.

Hope it is better soon.

aww hun what are you like stick your hand in freezen cold water put ice in it if you have any leave it there a good 10 mins i would jus stick a bandage around it hope its feeling better soon xxx
