Burns ... i burnt my finger it hurts really bad what can i do to help it??

Answer:
extract or yogurt or sour cream or egg white - not until it is fully healed!i would advise that you cover the burnt area with sterile paraffin wax or aqueous cream bp. (check the links below and see if you can find a local equivalent)cover the burnt area in paraffin wax after cleaning and removing any burst blisters - these are just sites of infection and will take longer to heal. wash and reapply every 4-6 hours - cover with cling wrap if you wish to cover with clothes - this will stop your clothes getting covered with paraffin and maintains the burn.paraffin creates a seal stopping water leaving the body and reduces pain as it protects sensitised nerves. the paraffin imitates the natural oils secreted by the skin. skin cells are better able to multiply and regenerate with this treatment. pain is also helped. make sure you buy plenty of this paraffin - as the burn heals switch to aqueous cream bp.(aqueous cream has a bunch of paraffin in it plus some moisturisers - look out for stuff that also contains sorbolene or glycerine as these help also). following this regime definitely will help your sunburn heal faster and peel less. aloe is good coz it remoisturises but that moisture can be quickly lost as the skin can't contain fluids- this is a function of healthy skin.so put aloe on the paraffin on over the top as long as there is no broken skin this works great. if there is broken skin leave out the aloe - just paraffin http://www.doorone.com.au/xgs-aqueous_cr...http://www.pharmacyonline.com.au/david-c...hope this helps - let me know how you go and what similar brands/alternatives are available in your area email if you still have questions - send photos

soak it in cold water

Air makes it hurt. FIRST, is the skinned charred? Or are there skin bubbles? Or is the skin just red?Charred - get to ER!
Bubbles - cover with clean dressing. NO burn ointment or anything like that. NO butter, your finger is not toast. If bubbles break, watch for infection.
Red - run cool water over it, dry and bandage.

Soak in cold water and apply ice. DO NOT use butter, cream or oils to sooth it. The heat generated by the burn will actually cook it from the inside out and make the burn worse even though it feels better.
Think about it. Your burn took the moisture out of the finger so you need to put the moisture back in. The moisture in your body is water, not oil so use water.
Hope you feel better!

Put it in vinegar. Surprisingly, vinegar actually stops the pain. Do this as needed. If it's not a really serious burn the vinegar should do the trick.Do try this.....it really does work.Good luck! :)

^Use cool water, put your finger under running water or wet a towel and loosely wrap it. What ever you do don't use butter or anything greasy, it will make the burn worse. If you blister, don't pop it or you may get an infection. I hope you feel better soon.

Preperation-H Oitment is Great for burns. You may want to call your local pharmacy such as Walmart or CVS or Rite-Aid.

Do NOT wrap it in any wet dressing or soak it in water/ice water (I'm right about this, I just got my Advanced Burn Life Support certification).Keep the dressing clean and dry. If the burn is really bad, go to the emergency room.

use aloe vera or at least put antibacterial stuff on it. you can put an ice cube on it.

As a Certified Professional Rescuer im required to know first aid, I would recommend running it under cold water first, and keep running it, then dry it a little, If its burnt and not blistered or the skin is not broken, apply some small amounts of antiseptic, Itll burn like hell but itll go away after a short amount of time, usually 15-20 minutes, I have a burn on my side that I did that with. Then, Apply a dry sterile dressing to it. If its an electric burn, dont run it under water, it wont help, If you burnt yourself on something warm, Keep it cool. Hope you feel better.
