Hi, This Morning I Had An Incident Where Boiling Water
Hi,
This morning I had an incident where boiling water spilled all over my kitchen, and I reviewed a small burn on my hand- it covers my middle finger and pointer finger and the space of skin under them on the top of my hand.
I ran it under cold water and it seemed ok, so I continued on with my day- cleaning and going to the gym.
I have noticed now, about two hours later that th skin is quite blotchy and a couple of my freckles seem to be raised. The pain has also increased.
Do I need to see a doctor or will continuing to run my hand under cool water be enough?
