How To Cure Burned Fingers?
Burned two fingers on baking sheet. Oven temp was 425 I put fingers under cold water. it s been 2 Hours and I have to keep them in cold water or they feel like they are burning. The tip of index Finger has little bit blister. Tried aloe gel but it just hurt more. The only relief is keeping both Fingers in cold water. How long is this going to hurt? Thanks for any advice.

Hello,
As per your case history of burned fingers, my treatment advice is:
1. Don't scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like Fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
3. Take a NSAID like ibuprofen for pain and swelling.
4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics like Levofloxacin, Cefadroxil and Azithromycin taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
