had a stupid turn today at work and managed to burn my finger on one of the lights in the display cabinet. Ran it under cold water (not for a full 10 minutes cause i didn't want the directors thinking im lazy) and put some burn spray on it. Got home and its still killing. What should i do now? Also the actual bit i burned has turned white, a quick google tells me this means its probably full thickness, but i've learnt googling and automatically trusting medical stuff makes you an idiot

As for it being white, my book says that with full-thickness burns the skin may look waxy or pale so if that's the kind of thing you mean I'd definitely get it checked by a doctor. The book says all full-thickness burns and all burns on the face, hands, feet or genitals should warrant medical attention, so even if it's not full-thickness as it's on your finger I'd get it checked out.
In future, its definitely worth keeping it under the tap for 10 mins, or until it no longer hurts when you take it out (and its had a few moments to get feeling back from the cold), whichever is the longest. That way they don't hurt later!
now in some cases blisters have to be popped and one of them is if you get a wart and get it frozen with liquid nitrogen it will build a water blister under the wart sometimes it builds a blood blister which has to be popped but never pop a blister on a burn also what the cling film does is protects it from infection in the air and keeps it air tight so if it starts to swet then take the cling film off for a bit just to give it some air it will feel cold and might sting a little bit but thats because it need to adapt to air now i've done this to myself before thats how i know what to do
Easier said than done when im trying to make a good impression at work especially after ive been all consumely shit all week
bum (you do have to masterbate sometimes to get it in corners of your bum)
burns (do not rub if blistered)
xma (i've not tryed it on xma but it's known to work guite well)
itchy scabs (rub it in for 1 min to get it in all places of the scab)
dry skin (it also puts moisture back into the skin)
do not put on face
also before applying anything make sure you clean the burn with a alcohollic spray because if theres a jerm on the burn then the cream will trap the jerm onto the burn and your body will not be able to fight it off
:eek2:
if you have a sore bum what keeps on itching and you put the cream on it and it still itches then it's more lightly that you haven't fully covered the core parts so if you masterbate it then your pushing the cream deeper into your bum and thats how you get it to work properly
i know it's a bit dirty but it never fails on most people
err... and what makes you the expert 'bum-masturbating' doctor?
I experiment and i don't give you advice on anything i've only tryed once
also that's how your doctor knows this stuff if you ask two doctors about the same thing they will both give you different answers because they do tests
oh and i'm not a doctor but all my methods should work 100%
Well I realise that, but for future reference if you aren't so restricted on time then it really really does make a big difference.
Other options if you can't are wrap it in a damp cloth, wet tissue etc.
I don't think doctors personally try all the treatments they prescribe.
no they don't but they do try things like putting ducktape on a wart
What if they've never had a wart?
then they use another doctors method
i found that funny aswell
