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 ..?🙂
In: Biology
It won’t fix the damage that’s already happened, but if your flesh is still at a high enough temperature that damage is ongoing, then the faster you cool it off to below that temperature the better.
Cool water can relieve pain, but very cold water can cause further damage.
