Like a burn.: When a hot water bottle or heating pad is left on the body surface for too long, it burns the skin. It should be treated like any other burn: OTC antibiotic ointment, oral pain medication such as tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen. An ice pack to the area can also help alleviate pain.
