Cooked myself last night

[Azbubu]

I accidentally cooked a part of myself last night. I ran the affected area under cool water and then applied some lotion. There's so much conflicting reports on the internet on how to deal with this. If it hasn't blistered by now (12 hours already), it probably won't, right? It's getting darker so the worst I can expect is just a scab, right? Should i leave it uncovered and apply lotion or cover it with gauze?
Or should I not apply lotion at all and just let it dry out?

I know this isn't the right place to seek medical advice but this isn't really all that serious to visit a professional, especially with my medical aid

BTW it smells delicious! I can understand why some people are cannibalistic.

you lucky you in no fap november cause you might have burned your peen as well after that

I heard the worst thing you can do is run it under cold water...

as your skin gets a shock but suddenly being super hot, and then another shock by suddenly being cold...

They say the best is to hold your hand tightly over it, so as to bring it back to normal body temp as soon as possible...

after that, gently cover with gauze, and leave as is...

good luck,,,

Best way to treat a burn is to get burnshield and keep it in the fridge.

It looks like gause pads and when applied to a burn, as soon as possible, it draws off the heat, thus stopping the cooking process.

This was used on my son when he fell into a potjie braai. He was completely healed without scarring.

Nom nom nom, nah you'll be fine don't sweat it, and harden the **** up would you

 

[Azbubu]

Now I read that you shouldn't apply any lotion or ointment because it traps the heat inside. too much conflicting info out there!

This ...and Eina!for your son
Would you believe there are people who still put butter on a burn?

Ok - On a serious note...

When a burn occurs, running it under cold water is good, unless its 3rd degree burn (aka the skin is nice and crispy / non existant) or if its a chemical burn - some chemicals can react to water making it worse...

If its 3rd degree - go to hospital ASAP.

I assume its a 1st or 2nd degree burn (some redness, sore, maybe a blister) - the only thing you should put on it is some burn gell, which will help sooth the pain.

From here on out, just leave it as is, it will slowly get better, the dead skin might scab and fall off soon enough. If it blisters, dont pop it. If for some reason the skin breaks, apply antiseptic ointment and cover to prevent infection.

Thank you, it's about 1.5 degree i'd say. Is burn gel only for pain or helps healing too? It's not really paining, it's just making me sad

The butter causes the burn to continue "cooking"
