Coli Doctors.. 2nd degree burn help

[Emperor Sol]

Let's say 5 or so hours ago I spilled boiling hot water on my foot by accident.

The wound is no bigger than an inch and doesn't "hurt" so much as sting a bit. It hasn't started blistering yet but the area is pretty moist. The spot is no bigger than an inch long/wide.

Is that a bad thing? I've heard people say that when they get burned it starts to blister within half hour. Idk if I should see a doctor yet.

wrap the area in ice?

I don't think you want to directly apply ice to a burned area brethren...i'm not 100% on that though.

Yea. I burn myself every time I step foot in the kitchen, and I've realized that lip balm actually works to take that sting away.

try some 100% natural shea butter if you got any

lip balm

The wax in the lip balm is said to coat the burn and cool it off. It works for me.

Staying out the kitchen works even better.

If you let it linger much longer without treatment it's going to get infected. Your only option at that point is antibiotics, and if that doesn't work, amputation.

cover it in rice.

People here gonna make you end up with a scar.

Wrap ice in a cloth and keep it on the wound. That helps prevent blistering. After that go to the store tomorrow and get neosporin to prevent infection. Either that or antiseptic burn cream. Keep lotion and vaseline away. If it does blister you really shouldn't pop it.
