Burnt my hand

2018-08-02 20:33:49
I burned my hand when I grabbed a 500f stainless bowl on the counter. Burnt my left hand fingers. My thumb seems the worst. The appearance is shriveled on the areas that were burnt. The worst pain was when I burnt them but now it's stinging. Should I go to the hospital or treat it at home? I have applied some antibiotic ointment after I ran my hand under cold water

I think you must visit a general physician in your locality,and don't use antibiotic ointment from pharmacy.After diagnosis homoeopathic medicine can cure your problem.
