Got a 2nd degree small burn on my hand between two fingers. Right before a 3 day weekend where I was gonna relax and heal some other health issues going on.
I'm not used to cooking fry pans in the oven. In fact this is the first time in 3 months of cooking I did that. I made enchiladas and cooked an aluminum fry pan at 425F for like 8 mins. I wore gloves taking it out of the oven and putting it on the stovetop
...but a minute later when I went with a spatula to lift one out and onto a plate I couldn't get the spatula under it and instinctively I grabbed the handle of the pan without gloves to hold it still with the other hand and burned the area between the first two fingers that grabbed it.
I get little first degree burns here and there cooking every day, but it's been a while since I had a blistered up bad 2nd degree burn. So all my healing ointment gel stuff from years ago is gone and I have nothing besides some bandages that don't fit the area well.
Going to try to get an instacart order from the market first thing tomorrow with some petroleum jelly. Will see how bad it's blistered and feels tomorrow morning I guess. It's not terrible but a couple hours later it's still burning somewhat, so it's definitely cool showers and everything being a pain in the ass for the next few days until it heals.
