Ice. Its gonna blister too. Ice and then a band-aid after a couple hours.

Pengwuino

Cyrus

Cut your finger off, problem solved you crybaby.

Pengwuino

i was going to put a disclaimer that i didnt want cyrus's advice.... should have listened to my gut insticts

franznietzsche

Ok, just making sure

I did a similar thing once. Well sorta, it involved a removing the bit from a hot jackhammer that we had been using on super-tile (seriously, this stuff was frickin indestructible, the jackhammer couldn't even break it, it just shook them until the tiles got lifted off the mortar) that I grabbed after having forgotten I had removed my gloves. It blistered. Not fun.

Lisa!

I put toothpaste on my finger if I was you. Perhaps potato would be good but I guess it's too late now!

(Penguins have fingers? )

franznietzsche

This one does apparently. I didn't know they ate pizza though.

Cyrus

Dip your finger in pizza sauce and eat it.

moose

I would put some form of paste on it and wrap it with ice...

Other than that....

Lisa!

He was just baking pizza or perhaps they were baking pizza used penguin in! yummy a pizza made with penguin!

Explain this to me, Lisa mentioned toothpaste as well. Why?

Lyuokdea

Lisa!

Ah I can't explain it well in English!
It must be like ice. I mean it keeps your finger cool and you can put a band-aid on it and go back to your job...

Putting your finger in cool water is about all you can do - and bear the pain.

How is your finger this morning, and how big is the blister?

Keep it clean, especially if the blister breaks.

You might want to put medicated moisturizing cream containing Aloe Vera on that part of the finger and Vitamin-E oil. I have experience with this myself - and a few scars.

Don't do that again! Wear mits around hot objects.

Pengwuino, you could have a serious burn, meaning the tissue under the skin is also damaged. It shouldn't still be hurting after two hours in ice water. If it is still hurting or doesn't look better today, go to a doctor and have it examined.
