If it doesn't stop hurting, they do have some stuff at the doctor's that will help. I was taking a cup of boiling water out of microwave last year and the handle suddenly broke off the cup. As usual my little furbaby was right under foot so my silly "mother's instinct" kicked in and I reached out to try to catch the cup. Needless to say; the boiling water splashed all over my wrist and hand. Anyway, I went through that same thing with the pain. I kept it in ice water and everytime I took it out it would hurt so bad. Finally went to the Urgent Care and I was so embarrassed...I was actually crying. They cleaned it...OUCH...and put this white cream on it that really did start working after a day or so. They also had me keep it bandaged and gave me some pain killers. So....if it doesn't get to feeling alot better, you really should go to the doctor.
