I burned my finger with boiling caramel. What should I do?

Hello Ma'am,

When the skin has been burned like this, it is best to apply cold to the burn for 15 minutes every hour or so. This will help reduce the inflammation. You can also take Tylenol™ by mouth for the same reason.

We try not to apply cream to the skin. Also, if the skin blisters, we try not to break it.

The body's normal processes should allow for healing in less than 10 days.

Happy day,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
