Burns
Hi!! So um long story short I was very stupid and poured hot (not steaming hot but still hot) water from the kettle into a plastic sippy cup which melted causing the water to burn 3 of my fingers. I've tried running it under cool water and my mom told me to put polysporine on it but it still is burning. My fingers are swollen I have a blister the size of a small blueberry on my index finger and two smaller ones (one each on my other two fingers) . My fingers feel like they are burning but they're not red. What else can I do for my burn(s)?

You'll probably be fine. It'll take a while for everything to heal up, but I have burned my hands and fingers a number of times over the years, and you'd never know it. Keep the burns clean and protected. Don't pop the blisters (hard to resist, I know, but they help keep the burns sterile. Obviously, see a doctor if it becomes infected or isn't healing properly or just for peace of mind.

ahh i see... you should probably actually go to a doctor or something because you're first mistake was actually putting it under cold water. contrary to belief, you don't push opposites like burning fingers and cold water together
