Got burn in my right arm

I got burned while taking steam—my arm accidentally touched a hot pipe, and now it’s hurting. What should I do?

You must consult a burn and plastic surgery specialist which can guide you better, don't ignore small burns as well

Hi there... Run cold ❄️ water (NOT ice) down your arm. Please send some clear pics 📥 ASAP 🙏 Fucibet ointment can be applied immediately for quick relief but it's best this is done after a Qualified Dermatologist takes a look. Welcome to connect via this App's INSTANT ONLINE Consultation 🙏 for a quick resolution as is the need of the moment.

From your description, This looks like a minor thermal burn (first-degree or superficial burn) from contact with a hot surface. These usually heal well with proper care. Next Steps • Immediately cool the area under running tap water for 10–15 minutes (if not already done) • Apply a soothing cream like SILVEREX (silver sulfadiazine) or aloe vera gel • Take a pain reliever (like paracetamol) if needed • Keep the area clean and avoid friction Helpful Tips / Word of Caution: • Do not apply ice, toothpaste, or home remedies • Do not burst any blisters if they appear • If you notice increasing pain, redness, swelling, pus, or large blisters, consult a doctor • Most minor burns heal within 7–10 days with proper care
