...it's times like this I hate having a high pain tolerance

because now I don't know what kind of burn I have

and it's so small the coloration guide isn't helpful

and I'm not sure how long to hold it under water

because like... it doesn't seem so bad?

oh honey

burned my pinky while fiddling with something in the oven on the edge of the oven

of course it was at broiler heat so... greaaat

ouch! I'd say give it at least a few minutes under the water, having done that to myself a few times

Give it about an hour. If it blisters up, it's bad, but not that bad and you can either wrap it to avoid agitation or pop it eventually and peel and apply neosporin. I find that the blisters pop and just leave pouches of ew, so I prefer peeling and putting a bandaid on.

Sad that I've been burned enough to have a preference. =|

Let's not talk about that.

I did the few minutes underwater,

and then I neosporined and lightly bandaged

All good things

I missed this, but I was told to not use cold water immediately. but start with warm and slowly cool down to minimize the shock to the cells.

yeah, I used lukewarm and went to cool

I hope it isn’t too bad danii

I'm PRETTY sure it's second or third. but it's so small

like maybe a 1/3 the size of a dime

and thankfully it's on a very easy to bandage spot on my pinky that I don't move much

so it's not too bad

thankfully I'm on vacation next week

Ack! I hope it heals quickly

I hope it heals fast.

it's not really hurting as much at this point
