I got my leg burned from boiling water
Hot boling water fell on my right leg, covering major portion of thigh and below knee. Kept it under cold running water for almost 20 minutes and then applied aloe vera gel and slept with leaving affected area open. Next morning applied burnol. Just read on internet that if burned area is more than 3 inches, go for immediate medical help. My burn area is more than 3 inches not sure what to do next.
