I just burnt my hand on a hot pot handle. The pot was tiny, and so was the flame But it was on high for 15-20 minutes before i reached for it, immediately letting go.

I think I have minor second degree burns or severe first degree burns. I have run my hand under cool water for 15 minutes and applied triple antibiotic lotion.

Now it is feeling a little painful to uncomfortable ~45 minutes after the burn. Just stings a little. Bearable. Feels better than earlier. I think I will buy some bandages to cover my hand. What else should I do?

The burns are each under 3 inches, and on my index finger, middle finger, palm area just below my middle and index fingers, and palm area just left of my thumb.

You could have put ice on it or run cold water over it just after the burn to cut down on inflammation which causes blisters. While you're buying bandaids, buy some "burn cream." It's called that because that's what it's for. Try not to rub the wound against anything for the next few days, because friction will irritate it. If any blisters form, do not pop them prematurely. Keep them moisturized and they will drain when they are ready. After the blisters drain, carefully remove the excess blister skin and put neosporin on the area until it is healed. In two or three weeks, you (probably) won't have any damage except for the memories.

Cold compress, liberal apply of aloe, advil, and, a pull of whisky.

It sucks. Sleep it off. The pain won't be as bad in the morning. Don't use a bandage, let it breathe.

Thank you. Will buy burn cream as well.

Should I keep it covered or let it air?

>>18519208
Does it make a difference if it"s the hand or am I posting too many pictures. Sorry if the latter, just wanted to show the detail for reference.

>>18519212
Thank you. Will buy some aloe.
>>
>>18519206
Edit edit: sorry that I missed in your OP that you did something about it. This is such a minor burn that I overlooked all that. I apologize for my callousness. You did what you could. Just keep it moisturized with triple antibiotic and in a few days you won't even know it was there.

Yeah anon. All I see in your hand pics is a hand. It's kinda extra shiny on some parts? Maybe a lil more red than normal? Not to downplay your concern, but realistically, this is a very minor burn that probably won't even blister. That you ran it under cool water will cut a lot of the inflammation, and keeping it moisturized will allow the tissue to repair itself in short order.

>>18519265
Thank you. It's probably the worst burn I've ever had so I was worried. Going to use aloe and let it air out.

Some redness has started to appear almost two hours later.

Sorry you burned your hand. I know it's uncomfortable but that's a very minor burn, you shouldn't worry. Don't bandage it- it needs to breathe.
>>
>>18519212
>advil and whiskey
DO NOT
>>
>>18519206
>ice
don't do this, it restricts the blood flow and may actually make the scar worse
instead just run your hand under cool water for 15-20 minutes
I say this as retard who used ice and still have a burn scar on my hand from 2 years ago
