Burned hands washing with too hot water and freaking out

[scaredpt]

I was washing my hands and by accident it turned really hot, my fingers hurt and are red but idk if it’s worth it to see a doctor

Run your hands under cold water tap for as long as you can

I wouldn't think hot water from a tap could get too hot to burn you badly.

If you can type and wait for reassurance I'm sure you're fine.

I doubt you need to see a dr. Take an anti inflammatory and soak your hands on and off in cold water. I've burned myself pretty badly before to the point where it throbbed for hours after. I didn't see a dr and I was fine. Unless it's a third degree burn, with open sores and such, it should heal fine on its own.

I think that happens to everyone sometimes during the lifetime. Hurts as hell yes but not something you should rush to the ER for. Unelss it is your enture body that got burned that way of course.
