My son is with his father and i just got a txt saying he put his hand on a hot wood stove. So i called him and he said its about a dime size and another lil spot. I asked him if it was bad enough to go to the hospital and he said no. My ? is what could we put on it or do u not do anthing t a burn? I am waiting for his to send me a pic.
Someone told me wet tea bags, supposedly its supposed to help take the sting out and prevent it from blistering, but I don't know the reality behind that. I know my brother did it when he put his hand on a burner, and his burn didn't seem to last that long, but I don't know.
I burned my hand a couple of weeks ago.... about the size of a quarter. I called the nurse line and they said NOT to use ice or butter (two common remedies at home) because it deepens the burn. All it does is ease the pain... and make things worse. She said to dress it lightly with gauze after putting vaseline on it. She said to change the sressing once a day, to not get it wet at all, and keep it away from infections risks like dirt, raw meat, etc....
I hope that helps!
This is what I was told, also, by a nurse at the hospital. I had burned my hand at work and the nurse said that the worst mistake people make, is putting ice or butter on the burn. She said it just makes the burn worse, even though it relieves your pain.

i was getting a pizza out of the oven one time and caleb put his hand on the pizza rack before i dropped the pizza to get to him, he wasn't even a year old yet. he burnt his hand pretty bad.. took him to the dr's not much they could do so i just went to drug mart and got some burn spray. it really works!
burn cream and do not wrap it. you dont want the heat to stay in. its probably going to blister no matter what. just watch it
THIS!!
