A member asked:
What to do if i burned my arm from the "ice challenge". probably 1st degree?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Self protection: Burn is a response of the tissues to injury from temperature extremes and chemicals. It is simply inflammation which means increase blood flow to the area to promote healing. Do not use more ice as this can injure already injured skin. Anti-inflammation medicines like Motrin or advil (ibuprofen) may help.. Avoid any further damage as this can cause scarring. Daily skin cream will help protect and moisturize.
