ow ow ow. steam burn on fingers, have dome cold water, now room temp is bloody painful, help

[piratecat]

what do i do to ease it.

Glad to hear its ok!

Keep an eye on it though in case it gets infected.

There's a fab dressing the hospital used on my son called 'meta somthing' (she says helpfully) which was brilliant.

oh and nurse also told me to be careful of previously burnt skin in the sun as its very new and tender and also moisturise it a lot as its healing so it doesn't get too tight. With DS this was after the blisters had gone.

2 words - ALOE VERA !!
Magic stuff for burns. I have tube of Aloe Vera gel on my window sill (I'm a clumsy oaf - always burning myself).
You can get it from most health food shops or online eg www.simplynatural.org.uk/acatalog/Aloe_Pura_Gel_by_Optima.html.

aloe vera sounds like a good idea thankyou!
