A member asked:

What to do if i burned my-self with a hot iron! #pain! i r ran over it with cold water, but it stings even more!?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cold is correct: A second degree burn will hurt often for days. Application of cold is helpful, but there is nothing that will make it go away instantly. The medical profession uses silvedine, but many use any topical antibiotic ointment. Others use aloe vera juice from the plant.
