keep it extremely covered with a sterile wrap.
maybe you need to have your neuro evaluate you for the numbness in your arms.
please let us know how you are.

You know... normally I run burns under cold water right away, I'm actually a little fanatical about it. I just didn't think I actually got myself with the water, and I was busy making dinner so I didn't that time. That would figure that it would be the time a REALLY needed to.
I plan on talking to my neuro about the hot cold sensation next time I see her, which should be soon.
Thanks for the advice.
