Take the sting out of a burn?

[Haydies]

My oven mits have a hole in them, the seam is coming apart. I discovered this tonight them I grabbed the oven tray with my exposed thumb. I now have a blister and a very, very painful fingerprint area. I put my thumb under water, then onto a frozen meal. Happened an hour and a half ago and I still can't bear to have my thumb off the ice for more than 3 seconds.

I now have my thumb inside a tomato after googling for ideas. It's not working. Help please, how do I stop the pain?

cold running water the best, but given water restrictions, a tub of cold water or an icepack? It can take a while to take the sting out. OUCH, time for new mits i think!

your supposed to have burns under cold running water for 20mins, thats what the hospital told me last month anyway.

other than that theres nothing i know of to help, maybe some ice cold bonjela to numb it?

When I do the same I carry around a cup of water for a few hours with my finger in it. eventually it starts to feel better.
There is also a cream called Burnaid which could help.

Aloe Vera gel or better if you have an aloe vera plant cut off a leaf and rub the juice straight from the plant.
