Burn remedy?!?

Don't suppose anyone has an OS remedy?:confused: Just burnt my hand (should learn to let hot frying pans just fall on the floor! Have done this about 4 times now!:rolleyes:), have had it under cold water until the rest of it is numb lol, but its still blistering, someone told me once about making a paste out of bicarb (I think?!?), just wondering if anyone has any ideas? Have no first-aidy things in the house lol. Ta in advance! :D

    Don't think we can give 'medical' advice on here - but I'd say don't give uop the cold running water. Even if it goes numb keep putting it back whenever you can!
  • Lol true, forgot about the medically bit, thanks anyway :)

    Yep ;)

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this: Sorry, giving or asking for medical advice is not permitted on this forum as it’s not what this site is about. While discussing medical insurance policies, cheaper ways to see consultants, cashback for alternative health treatments and how to get specific medication cheaper (legally) are all perfectly acceptable we ask you specifically not to discuss what to do in the event of certain medical problems (please see this rule on the Health Board). If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]!!!!!![/EMAIL].
