what ever you do, DONt use ice.
Apply some antiseptic cream perhaps, aloe vera is the best if you have any.
If you've got some ice-stick it in a sandwich bag or similar and then cover with a tea towel or several pieces of kitchen roll and keep that on it for a while. It will stop stinging eventually, just be patient :smile:

Not directly on it at any rate...

Germolene might help. It's fairly cheap (a coupla quid?) and it acts as both antiseptic and anaesthetic.

Also, wrap your fingers in a bandage if the pain in that bad. The pharmacist will point you to the best one for a burn.

bonjela is for mouth ulcers :biggrin: If the burn isn't that bad-more just a quick surface burn then you should be fine without the cream. Its going to sting but it won't last long.

Germolene and if possible a bandage always works for me. :smile: Try not thinking about it too much as well though.

ive put germolene on people and it still hurts!!!!
Well its not gonna make the pain magically disappear-its more to prevent infection really cos its antiseptic.

Go get some calamine and glycerin cream from boots.
Or there's a spray called burneeze which is meant to be really cooling.
wrap it in cling film...that's for scalds, but it might work.

get a pillow and punch it :tongue: Take your pain and turn it into aggression! grrr!

Either that or put ice on it with towels as someone suggested, if it gets cold enough it can numb it :smile:

Any pain killers you got really, ibuprofen?

And if this Disco Pirate person can conclude that im a Bitch off this internet forum because i didnt do what he said then... good for him : /
Erm, if you actually did what i said instead of just moaning, then your fingers would no longer be hurting.
That's the last time i give you advise.

don't put any creams/moisturisers on it..

just keep it cold.

you might want to cover it with clingfilm to prevent infection, but I don't think your burn is that serious.
