Burnt my finger!

hi, my finger slipped while i was cooking on a fry pan, my finger TIP got placed on the middle part of teh fry pan for a good 2-3 seconds. Its been 2 days, and i still have no feeling of the finger tip, ive tried rubbing it against various texture, but i cant feel anything.

will i ever be able to feel, with my finger tip?

Yeah, it'll take a while to heal though. Don't worry about it, I've done it loads. Enjoy the weird feeling of touching stuff without being able to tell what it is!

this brings me to my burn, i burnt the tip/side of my thumb about 5 days ago. i've had this huge blister which doesn't appear to be going. shall i pop it?

OUCH! Ooh I'm cringing

It will probably just take a while for the nerves to heal, or someother technical craplike that. (I thought I may aswell try and be vaguely helpful rather than just saying 'ouch'.)

thnks 4 the all the replies,

well after i done it, i placed it under a cold tap for like 0.2 seconds, i just continued cooking. I havnt placed and creams or anything on teh burn, but i fear itll never heal, cos the pan was frying for a good 15 minutes and must of been like 500 degrees lol.

How come it took 2-3 seconds to take your finger off the pan...ouch!!! It should be fine, I'm awlways burning my fingers on my straighteners and they recover. Put lots of hand cream on it.
