How To Treat A Burn On Finger?
I have a small burn on the left side if my index finger on my right hand from melted plastic. My finger did come in contact with the flame and plastic melted off and molded onto it. I put it under cold water for a couple minutes and then not thinking straight, i put ice on it for a good 10 minutes.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, now care need to be taken for wound particularly for infection if the burn is not deep then it can come around with topical antiseptic or antibiotic else this is nothing to worry, in case of deep burn may need oral antibiotic, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
