A member asked:

Hot wax from a mosquito repellent splashed on my foot about 3 hours ago & even now it is still burning.....nothing seems to be able to cool it down...

Burn treatment: Continually immerse your foot in cool water. Apply a burn ointment or Silvadene (silver sulfadiazine) cream if you can get it. If you have blisters or open wounds, head to the ER.
