Kitchen burns

[Anonymous]

What do you keep on hand to put on kitchen burns? Ones that are bad enough to be blistered but don’t seem to be particularly serious otherwise beyond being somewhatpainful.

Nothing other than Cold water

Cold water. Lots of cold water. Then a loose bandaid or the like to prevent tearing the blister.

Try to keep the blister covered and clean. Don’t pop it.

Newest medical protocol is not to cover it. There are lidocaine gels you can buy for the pain

I keep a tube of lidocaine burn cream in the kitchen. I’ve only burnt myself barley twice but having it on hand was very helpful!

I was told to cover with loose gauze. The blister was the size of a plum.

If the burn is serious enough that basic first aid supplies and cold water won't cover it, you should go in to get it treated anyway.

This. Burns can get infected easily. How often are you getting burned? This has happened to me maybe once.
