A member asked:

I burnt my hand and have a small blister. even with a cool towel it still burns a little. what should i do about it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ice Water: Put you hand in ice water until the stinging goes away, then protect the blister with antibiotic ointment and a sterile bandage. Watch for signs of infection such as increased redness, pain or swelling. See a doctor if these occur.
