I burnt my poor knuckles to a crisp trying to help out someone at work. the tips of my fingers are getting a bit tingly. any suggestions for a wicked hot water burn?

I just burned the fuck out of my thumb on some matches. Try using bandaids, but keep them really loose over the blisters and don't use any neosporin or anything, because keeping them wet makes it heal slower. If however, they dry out a bunch and start to crack, use it. If its around the whole surface of a digit, bandage loosely with that white cottony stuff.
