If the burn is still red tomorrow, then def see a dr as it's probably a 2nd deg burn. If it subsides overnight then that seeing a dr may be overkill for a 1st deg burn. Hope it goes away overnight for you. Burns is horrible painful. I'm not sure what the current advice is for 1st deg burns. Maybe a nice g & t will help you sleep.
EDIT: misspelling
Many thanks Mama Witch. I do now agree that maybe I won't see the Dr if it's not red tomorrow, was just feeling worried because it was on my hand itself and not my arm. Feels much better after another round under the tap and no burn gel or anything applied this time (didn't help earlier). Just a small red patch atm. I almost forgot about it until I went to have a hot shower... ow.
Gonna pop a nurofen for good measure and see how we go tomorrow. Praying for no blisters and grateful it was on my left hand, not my right.
