hey yall. i got a nasty burn on my right arm. i was ironing clothes and accidentally scathed myself with an iron that was on 3. the upper layers of the skin are gone, but thankfully the burn isn't deep and it's small. probably will scar though. it also is covered with slimy transparent liquid (serum?)
anyhow, what do i do? i ran cool water and applied panthenol but what else i should do?

@mynameistillian@plush.city how long did you cool? If its very recent (<30 min maybe?) you should still be cooling probably

@mynameistillian@plush.city use lukewarm water, not the coldest your tap will give

@mynameistillian there are special cremes for burns which have a cooling effect on top of healing/protective stuff in it. Round my place they are not expensive and you get them from the pharmacy w/o prescription. Usually they are gel-like so applying doesn't hurt as much.

@mynameistillian@plush.city ah okay, that's probably fine actually. You just quite often hear people cooling for like 30 seconds and thinking they're done

@mynameistillian Disinfect with soap and water, or hydrogen peroxide, then bandage.
