Like if you were to touch a really hot pan and then instantly run it under cold water.. I was told that it didn’t stop the burning process, it just made the burn like stunned ? So it’s better to use lukewarm water ..?🙂

I burnt my hand a few months ago quite badly. Picked up a pan that had been in the oven.
Apparently the right thing to do is to put it in a bowl of coldish water. Make sure to stretch your hand as well, this is because the skin will contract and this can prevent it from splitting later. Not ice or fridge cold but cold to touch. Do that for 20 mins, wrap it in cling film so no air gets to it and go to the hospital. They will then clean it if necessary, put some burn gel on and then bandage you up.
