A user reported burning their finger on a hot metal handle while baking pizza, resulting in swelling and potential blistering. They had been applying ice water to the burn for relief. Suggestions from other users included using ice, covering the area with a band-aid, and avoiding home remedies like toothpaste or butter, which can increase infection risk. It was emphasized that keeping the burn clean is crucial, especially if blisters form. Users shared personal experiences with burns and offered advice on soothing treatments, such as Aloe Vera and Vitamin E. The conversation also included light-hearted banter about the severity of the burn and humorous remarks about the user's cooking mishap. Ultimately, the user reported improvement after a few hours, with reduced pain and swelling, and expressed relief that the injury was not as severe as initially feared.
