I burnt my feet!

15

I was running my bath, forgot to turn the cold tap on so got into a bath of boiling water, knelt down and stupidly didn't get up again, so now I have burnt feet and knees, they're really bright red after an hour and really difficult to bend, so painful! I've had ice on them but no change really, I guess I just have to wait for it to pass, yes?

Yes, I should think so.
Last year I walked a mile barefoot in the middle of summer, on hot pavements - weeks of pain...

Sadly, yes. Try applying some E45 cream (or similar) to promote healing.

If it's hot enough to burn you feet you managed to sit down then realize that it was too hot?

I just thought "this is a bit hot, oww" but I have really slow reactions, lol and I'd turned on the cold tap before I realised!

I will try moisturising cream too.
