text: how can i treat an minor burn bump? i was roasting a marshmallow and the hot marshmallow goop dripped on my finger and it hurts what can i do? the best thing for burn is cold running water. after the object has touched your skin and been removed, the skin continues to burn down through the layers of skin, giving you your 1st,2nd,3rd degree burn ratings depending on the severity of situation. another thing is to never remove something thats been melted on to your skin until its been cooled off with the running water. im sure you wiped it off imediately which will be fine, but had it cooled before you removed it might of been less painful. so since this happed hours ago. take to tylenol and an ice cube to bed and call me in the morning to tell me this is the best answer.{i even have fire in my avatar background and did give this same advice to my own daughter about 3 hours ago, her burn was with the curling iron}
