Ow I just spilled hot water on myself

I dont' know if the cold water would be worst. Anyways, my goodness it hurts so much. Wow... like my whole entire forearm is on fire. The pain seems to be lessening though. Hopefully I won't get any scars from this.
 
Run it under tap of cold water.
If you have mild blistering, it'll go away in a few hours.
If your skin is coming off, go to the doctor and make sure you have no nerve damage.
Did it this summer, hot gravy.

Thanks. My skin is not coming off, luckily. No blisters yet but I'm sure they'll show up.

I highly doubt the pain from punching myself in the face would be worst than this. How about I punch you in the face then spill some boiling hot water on you. You can experiment for me.

AFAIK, i've always been told to soak a burned appendage in cold water rather than run it under the tap. Less irritation that way. 🙂

Not sure, but that's what the telehealth ontario nurse told me to do if I didn't have a towel and ice pack lying around.
 
It's a first-degree burn. No worries.

I also would suggest to keep it under cold water, not under running water, and don't use butter.

Hmmm... weird.

So are the people at TH Ontario pretty good? I've thought of calling them a couple of times.

What does putting my arm in cold water do? Besides lessen the pain (I think)?
 
If you really want the pain to go away fast there is a product found in most drug stores that's called "New Skin" it creates an artificial layer of "skin" that makes the pain go away after is dries. Which is like a minute or two. It also heals open sores super quick, my cuticles were so fvcked up I got my bottle of New Skin and applied 3 layers to all my cuticles. They have NEVER looked better in my life.

God or your Almighty or whoever...for making hot water possible. The Supreme Being should be worth a sh1tload.

Or pretend you're schizophrenic, blame it on one of your other personalities, and sue yourself. You would get all kinds of TV exposure!
