First Aid \nFOR MINOR BURNS:\n\nIf the skin is unbroken, run cool water over the area of the burn or soak it in a cool water bath (not ice water). Keep the area submerged for at least 5 minutes. A clean, cold, wet towel will also help reduce pain. \nCalm and reassure the person. \nAfter flushing or soaking, cover the burn with a dry, sterile bandage or clean dressing. \nProtect the burn from pressure and friction. \nOver-the-counter ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help relieve pain and swelling. DO NOT give children under 12 aspirin. Once the skin has cooled, moisturizing lotion also can help. \nMinor burns will usually heal without further treatment. However, if a second-degree burn covers an area more than 2 to 3 inches in diameter, or if it is located on the hands, feet, face, groin, buttocks, or a major joint, treat the burn as a major burn. \nMake sure the person is up-to-date on tetanus immunization. \n\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000030.htm\n\nPeople have typically treated burns with ice and oil. However, do not use these! Ice of ice water causes loss of body heat and further damages the skin and underlying tissues. Likewise, do not put oil, butter or ointments on blisters or deep burns because these items seal in the heat, do not relieve pain very well. Another do not: do not break open blisters because it makes the skin more prone to infection. \n\nhttp://www.zetatalk.com/health/theal04j.htm

Unless it punctured or scratch your finger with an open laceration. You disinfect it with warm water and soap. And an antibiotic ointment should help. But if it's just a bruise don't worry it will go away in about three days.\nHow's the crab though? What a sweet revenge, ha?

What you need to do is squeeze it and get the puss out of it, then clean it with hydrogen peroxide and apply a topical antibiotic cream.\nIf you can't take the pain of squeezing it, try preparing a cup of hot water (hot as you can stand keeping your finger in) and adding about 2-3 tablespoons of salt. Soak you thumb in this for 20 minutes several times a day., dry and bandage with the antibiotic cream.

Nerve damage! if your nerves got severed and were reattached, you need to keep doing the Physical therapy you did at the sessions. It has to be a constant thing.If it is painful, remember that whilst the nerves are still healing , it will hurt. If this was a recent accident please DO NOT rest your hand for extensive periods of time thinking that your hand will heal and be better, it is the complete opposite and your hand will become immobile for sure from not moving.Compare it to an ungreased bycicle chain, you hear it creaking,squeaking because it wasn't greased and it doesn't want to go anywhere.That is why you want to keep your fingers and hand moving as much as you can. Get a remote and do finger pressing excersising, from the top button all the way down. Do this every half hour while you are awake. Are you wearing a hand brace? Something that keeps your hand tight, it's an elastic thing.Try not to wear it too much.\nOpen and close your fist as much as you can, same as the finger excersices. If you have no open wounds on your hands, try using a few drops of pepermint oil with a base of avocado oil (Bath and body works) and rub it on your hands, it should really help with your numbness as the pepermint oil gets your nerves reacting, and it penetrates.\nIf you can't move the fingers willingly, move each finger up and down and flex them with the help of your other hand and fingers. Don't let the hand get lazy.Keep it moving.Nerves will regenerate and they will pick up where they left off if you keep them busy and functioning. Keep the idea of the ungreased bycicle chain in your head and move your hand and use it so it doesn't stop working.Don't become unmotivated or lazy. Do things as normal. Even if your hand is in pain, do things, it's because your nerves are trying to repair themselves that they hurt and it feels like shooting pain.So the more you move, the better it will be. I cannot say that enough.

1) Remove the heat source, and remove the clothing\n2) Use flowing cold water to cool down the burnt member\n3) If severe pain is present, then some pain killers may be administered\n4) Surgical operation, and some plastic surgery is needed most of the time. New trends are available in this field, summarized as "planting" some tissues from other non-affected members

DO NOT put butter or oil of any sort on your burn. The only thing you should be doing is soaking it in as cold a water as you can stand. Keep it soaking - if it's in an awkward place (above the elbow) soak a clean washcloth in cold water and keep dabbing it.\n\nI'm very serious here - water is the ONLY thing you put on a burn like that. Do not use oil of any kind!

Run cold water over it until it stops burning.\n\nDo not put anything greasy on it (vaseline, neosporin, butter, etc.) because it will suffocate the burn and may make it worse.\n\nLeave it uncovered, and if a blister forms, do NOT pop it.  The blister is there to protect the damaged skin.\n\nIf it is larger than a quarter, seek professional medical help.
