I got steam burn on two of my fingers, about three days ago... I went to the ER and they gave me some cream to put on them and wrapped up my hand with gaze, and sent me on my way... Well last night I started to notice pain in my fingers, as if they have be slammed in to a door or something and also some bruising where the burn is... What should I do???
