I've just burned my leg

I was using the oven and the door closed on my leg! I've had a cold flannel on it. Is there anything else I should do?

Keep running it under cool water. You need to do it for a good long time.

Ouch!

Sit under the bath tap or aim the shower head at it for as long as you can best - ideally 20 minutes. The damage is still happening after the initial butn

Anything over the size of a 50p should be seen by a doctor- so a visit to a&e is on your cards. Remeber the palm of your hand is about 1% of your body surface.
Keep yourself warm but run water (not ice or freezeing water) over the burn for at least 20 minutes.

Cover it with clean clingfilm- pull about a metre off your roll first, then loosly cover it. Don't put creams or butter on it.

what @Sliceofrice said. Especially about no creams or butter which tends to be the dumb advice given on here. I'm afraid that minor injuries at least would be a good idea.
