This afternoon I’ve poured a very hot cup of water over myself. I’ve run it under a shower, but being where my thigh meets my torso quite tricky to do for as long as NHS website recommends.
It’s suggests putting cling film over the burn which I have. It doesn’t say how long this should be in place for. Can anyone advise?

Can you ice pack (frozen peas etc)?

NHS specifically says not to do that

Ice on a burn makes it worse. Cold water is as cold as you want to go (running a tap).

I remember my bro using something like silver oxide cream on a motorbike exhaust burn but that was 20 years ago. Skin healing tech has had a few advances since then
