Ah I can't explain it well in English!franznietzsche said:Explain this to me, Lisa mentioned toothpaste as well. Why?
Aww.Pengwuino said:wheres moonbear, she's nicer and more helpful!
That's a good sign. Then the underlying muscle, actually tendon, is OK. Do put Vitamin-E and Aloe Vera on it. And perhaps consider multi-vitamin (extra E) supplements while your skin heals.Pengwuino said:Well it stopped hurting all together after 3 hours and the blister seems to have... unswelled? I think I'm good, next time i'll just chop my finger off and hope it regenerates.
moose said:The fact that it hurt means the burn isn't that severe...
Oh, yeah, I'm afraid so, either it's a third degree burn or you're being assimilated.Pengwuino said:How long until this thing stops being white. Theres no swellign and it FEELS like normal skin... but its white! am i turning into an alien??

If you have burned your finger on a pizza oven handle, it is important to take immediate action to prevent further damage and promote healing. The first step is to run the affected area under cool water for at least 10 minutes. This will help to soothe the pain and prevent the burn from getting worse. After that, you can apply a burn cream or aloe vera gel to the burn to help with healing. It is also important to keep the burn clean and covered with a bandage to prevent infection.
The healing time for a burned finger can vary depending on the severity of the burn. A mild burn from a pizza oven handle may take a few days to a week to heal, while a more severe burn may take several weeks. It is important to keep the burn clean and covered to promote healing and prevent infection. If the burn does not show signs of improvement or becomes infected, it is important to seek medical attention.
No, you should not pop the blister that has formed on your burned finger. The blister is nature's way of protecting the injured skin and promoting healing. Popping the blister can increase the risk of infection and slow down the healing process. If the blister is causing discomfort, you can gently drain it with a sterile needle and cover it with a bandage.
The likelihood of scarring from a burned finger depends on the severity of the burn and how well it is cared for during the healing process. If the burn is mild and properly treated, it is less likely to leave a scar. However, if the burn is more severe or becomes infected, it may result in scarring. If you are concerned about scarring, consult with a doctor for proper wound care and treatment.
To prevent burns from a pizza oven handle, it is important to take proper precautions. Always use oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves when handling hot surfaces, and be aware of the temperature of the oven handle before touching it. It is also important to keep children away from the oven and teach them about the dangers of hot surfaces. Regularly checking and maintaining the oven's temperature control can also help prevent accidental burns.
