Every Rule of Thumb on Earth in One Place

Make burns disappear (#4330)

"When you accidentally singe your finger on the stove, clean the skin and apply light pressure with the finger pads of your unmarred hand. Ice will relieve your pain more quickly, Dr. DeStefano says, but since the natual method brings the burned skin back to a normal temperature, the skin is less likely to blister."

"Minor burns should be treated with cold running water, not ice. Cool water will bring down the skin temperature more rapidly then touching it to an unburned finger. "
