What is the best thing to do for plastic burn on finger?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Natural healing: The good news is that area has fantastic blood supply and so healing occurs rapidly. Inflammation (red, hot, tender swelling) is the body increasing the blood flow to the injury to bring healing factors to the area and also the veins expand to carry bad stuff away. Make sure there is no foreign body there and then simple protective ointments/dressings changed every other day should do the trick.
