do I need to go to hospital?
55 Answers
I've burnt my face while trying to straighten my hair with my iron and brown paper .The wound is about 3 inches in diameter but isn't deep at all and hasn't blistered or broken the skin.The skin is very red and is stinging.Do I actually need to go to hospital with a burn like this or is it sufficient to just put a bag of frozen peas on it?

ice only helps within the first few seconds and generally prevents blistering, try a product called prep cream, it contains:
Borax, Menthol, Thymol, Camphor, Clove oil and Phenol
it's generally used after shaving as a soothing agent, but is brilliant for burns as well, if you don't have that, clean the burn and just use vaseline (parafine based, not that cream stuff)
