This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff
United States
Clampdown
Today, I accidentally clamped my hair straightener down on my ear. Eleven hours later, it still feels like I have a burning, swollen fireball hanging off the side of my head. FML

I'm no doctor, but I've heard ice is not the best solution.

Yeah 52 is right. Cold water helps :)

Really? Never heard that one.. what's wrong with ice?

The drastic change in temperature will destroy nerve endings.

mustard too

The ice will increase the burning sensation before actually cooling it off.

Someone told me to put honey on a burn...it will reduce scaring too...then someone told me to use toothpaste on a burn...try either...

sometimes I burn myself when I straighten my nipple hair

112- I can attest to that, toothpaste works. It has a cooling effect.

Wouldn't the acid in toothpaste make the burn worse and sting more?
anakaren_831 1
wow 116, that's happened to me too, it helps if you let them grow extra long;) lmao

I agree with 131. And whoever said mustard I think that would burn too. But I think honey would be a good idea, never heard that before.

Maybe put some aloe on it..and owie :/ sorry OP. I have totally done that myself..the crap girls go through to look "good"

Aloe Vera is the best for anything from sun burns to flying bacon grease burns and even hair straighten burns. It takes the burning sensation away and speeds up the healing. Also it is 100% Natural, comes straight from the plant.

OP needs to find a lactating women and squirt some breast milk on the burn...it helps a lot!!

Ice wrapped in a towel is fine, but you don't want direct contact.
docscientist 10
Also, I'm not sure you want to cover it in honey, the heat needs to be able to escape or you'll further damage the tissue.
Randuhh_17 4
yeah...it works though. A nurse told me about the toothpaste..
waycool 10
in first aid they just said cool running water and wrap loosely in cling film or a clean cloth then go see your doctor :O

try a mix of all of the above

yogurt! plain yogurt works for most burns takes out the temperature.
docscientist 10
I can see using honey once the you've cooled off the tissue affected by the burn, but applying it just after the burn seems like a bad idea.

ImaWiseGuy 5
for as much girls straighten their hair you would think they'd be better at it....am I wrong?
jess6blondie9 3
No your not wrong. We should be better at it. But we're not. :/
giantsfan2010 23
Ouch, better ice that right away or take it to a doctor if the swelling doesnt go down.
