I burnt my finger taking a potato out of the oven, 425 for 75mins.

Well whatever you do it's going to hurt. Burns are nasty. I'd try applying some ointment or disinfectant, which will hurt more but it'll help in the long run.

The fact it hurts is a good thing. Probably only 1st degree to minor 2nd degree burn.

Somewhat recently I burned my finger on a soldering iron at 700 degrees. For the most part it didn't hurt. I'm still ok though, just a small scar.

If your concerned, of course, to the doctor. A pic of the hand would be useful

not much to look at. doesnt look bad.

still the pain is beyond any wood stove/hot pan contact burn I've had. the pain even "radiates" to other fingers when not in cool water

Throw some mustard on that bitch.

Iodine is the best.

no mustard for this hot dog finger, unfortunately

>Not having an aloe vera plant for this very situation
gringo plz

yeah burns suck and are painful as fuck, but you need to stop putting it under the water

when you run it under water it neutralizes the pain but the second you remove it it'll come back, stop running it under water and deal with the pain until it goes away on its own in a little while.

That or use aloe.

Honestly considering growing one now.

Pain is too intense. Most burns I would normally do this after a few minutes or one ice cube.

Ignore this fucktrumpet. Running it under cool (not freezing cold; COOL) water is EXACTLY what you need to do, to drain away the excess heat. It's literally in every first aid book about burns. "Run it under cool RUNNING water. Keep it under that water for 10 minutes AFTER it stops hurting. If it's a small child, wrap them in a wwarm blanket to prevent hypothermia."

If it didn't stop hurting yet, and your finger hasn't combusted, and the burning sensation isn't spreading, then you might have damaged a nerve somewhere. Not much you can do about that, other than to sleep on it.

Soak it in some vinegar till it feels better. then put a little burn ointment on it and dress it with a small amount of gauze.

> I do have an emergency surplus of vicodin, but that seems excessive for this.
Is it though?

Any burn on any extremities should be treated as a serious burn. Go to urgent care, they should be able to help you out. If you don't have urgent care, the ER is tour only other option on a Sunday. The only other thing you can do is keep it under running cold water or submerse it under cold water and change out the water every 10 minutes or so.

I burned myself once straining pasta. The steam burned one of my hands. I ran it under cold water and submersed it for at least half an hour in cold water. It helped a little but I could still feel the burning sensation. It started to blister, so I knew it was 2nd degree. The burning would get to me at times and I'd put it under child water again. By the time I went to urgent care the next day, they said it would be fine. So I guess I did everything I could.
