AAHHHHHHHH MAJOR Finger burn!!!!!!?!
Question: I was cooking and i melted some butter in the microwave and then when it was done i grabbed it to take it out. but then the bowl was 5000000 degrees hot (that was smart of me but hey, we all make mistakes we're human). I put some ice on it to cool it but it didnt help and i found out that putting ice on a burn makes it WORSE (longer time to heal). So now im in burning agony. UGHHH! Here's the description of the burn:
Its on the side of my finger but the front of my finger hurts too. The burnt area is white (not completely white). it has 2 blisters (one is big (swelling wise) and one is small (swelling wise). The burnt area is sort of wrinkled.
PLZ help! Im in sooo much pain! And my mom isnt home at the moment but will b here in no more than 30 mintues but i cant wait that long. =P
Any help is greatly appericiated!!

run it under cold water, quick!
++ aloe and/or first aid cream.
Possibly the best thing to do is leave it to air (ie don't bandaid it), but your mom is the best judge of this.
Oh, and DO NOT pop the blisters- they are your body's way of healing the skin you burnt.
Put some aloe on it...my mom always kept an aloe plant around when I was a kid! If you don't have aloe, use 1st aid cream. This will help with the burn feeling.
