My alarm sounded at 4:30 & 4:45 AM but I stood up at 5:15 AM. I played a game on the phone until 5:10AM so I hurried to boil water for the thermos. We put empty flat salmon cans over the burners but this morning, one can was near the kettle and I unconsciously picked up the can and it was hot. Careless. It was hot.i had to put my left ring finger under running water for several minutes so it won't blister. I was able to tolerate the pain. Now the skin is more red. No blisters. Just red.

I am glad it was not a serious burning, I badly burned the palm of my hand last year. I put it under running water, but when the pain increased I had to go to the ER, it was a bad burn.

was it a 1st degree burn? i hope there were no burn marks. i accidentally burned my left hand before (spilled hot water) between my thumb and index finger, then in 2006, my left foot got 1st degree burn with hot water again. there are no more burn marks.

@ridingbet 1st degree is a mild burning. It was 2nd degree, it affected the epidermis and the dermis. I have a mark, but it's on the palm, nobody notices.

@LadyDuck the burn scar in my hand and in my foot are unrecognizable now. but i can still imagine the pain i felt when my skin was burned.

It is very painful when one burns their finger or hand. Good idea to put under water so does not blister. I try to do that too.

Guess that burn will still make you feel a bit sensitive there for a while?
