It makes sense to me that the burn itself still feels warm/painful, but why is it that when touching/being near the burn with a non burned area such as your hand the burned skin stills feels warmer than it should?
In: Biology
2 things: humans are really good insulators so the heat tends to get trapped and will stay there way longer than you’d think. That’s why you should run burns under cold water. The other thing is repairing the body takes a lot of energy which can come out as heat.
