    Skull Burned my finger

    OKAY so long story short, my curling iron's on/off switch is extremely finicky. When I went to grab it to move it the other day, the fucker was ON for some reason, and my pinky finger touched the barrel.

    420 degrees of JUSTICE.

    Blister. Yay.

    Blister popped prematurely, skin peeled, felt the burn all over again. YAYYYYYY.

    The bandage that I had some neosporin on over it last night at work ended up falling off while I was doing some pole work. (No one noticed. Club was dead)

    But I hadn't brought an extra bandaid with me, and the wound didn't look THAT bad at work, so I continued the night like normal, just washing my hands a little more often.

    This morning, my finger is THROBBING with pain despite ibuprofen and another neosporin bandage. Like SERIOUSLY this thing HURTS.

    WTF. I don't work until later this afternoon but if it's not better by the time I'm out of my day job I'm seriously thinking about calling my doctor for a doctor's note and calling in!

    Anyone have any remedies? It's obviously infected or else it wouldn't be this painful! (And yes, the blister site is very angry looking)

    soak it in hydrogen peroxide & let it air out. Don't put any kind of ointment on it until it is dry. Use flexible fabric bandaids to cover it; they don't come of very easily, if at all.

    Thats random I was just researching for something else what to do with burns and wounds and apparently like the previous said the best thing to do is clean with water and then hydrogen peroxide and then apply an antibiotic cream (like sudacrem or savlon..im english though don't know what you have where you are)

    Have you tried aloe? Use only the 100% natural, without alcohol. I keep it on hand, when I get a burn, I immediately put it on, greatly reduces pain, blistering, etc. I have poured boiling hot water on my hand, twice, & it helped greatly!

    I had no aloe when I got the burn.

    It's healed for the most part now. The blister site is closed up, and the scabs are gone. Now the skin is a little red and flaky.

    I would have it checked out just to be safe...it is possible to get some kinda staph infection in your fingers (via fingernails) IT'S not pretty.. It's called a paronychia infection...some pretty gross youtube videos on this one...

    I'm really not worried about it. It just looks like a nicely healing scab.
