A Friend Just Called Me To Tell Me She Was

A friend just called me to tell me she was making peanut brittle and spilled it onto her pinkie.
She stuck the finger in water to get the peanut brittle off and now the finger is white and very painful. She is a senior citizen. I am unable to get to her but think she needs to go to the ER as she thinks it is possibly second degree burns. Is it okay to keep the finger in ice water for now?
