I had a first or second degree burn on three of my fingers, the cold water helps but i had to sleep with my hand in a bowl of ice and water. If you do this and I recommend you do, be sure that you have enough water in it or the ice will stick to your burn. This worked for me but what ever you do don't put butter on it.

∙ 8y agoOk if it is a minor burn and the skin has not broken:
Run it under running water (tap is fine) for 15 minutes
Apply a hydrogel such as Solosite
Apply an Opsite clear patch over it and leave it on until it falls off
You can take paracetamol for pain relief when required
If it is a major burn (large surface area, skin broken, signs of infection) see the GP

∙ 12y agoFirst determine how bad the burn is. For first and second degree burns(redness and blisters), you can run the burn under cool water. You can also apply an ice pack or some Aloe Vera gel/spray. If it is really bad, call 911. For third and electrical burns(charred/burned skin), you call 911. Then you cover the burn with a sterile bandage. DO NOT apply ointments, gels, or creams. DO NOT run under water or apply ice. DO NOT attempt to remove the clothing from affected area.

What do i treat a burn on my hand with?
In order to treat a burn on your hand it is important to know what type of burn it is. A superficial burn (known as a first degree burn) should be placed under cool running water. A partial-thickness burn (known as a second degree burn) will typically blister and should be submerged in cool water. A full-thickness burn (known as a third degree burn) is a serious medical condition and 911 should be called.
