What I did when I got scalded with hot water

So, I accidentally scalded my left arm with very hot water; hot enough to make eba (a Nigerian meal) and this is what I did:

1. Dipped the arm in cool water almost immediately.

2. Applied honey on the affected area.

There are no scars and you would not know if I didn't tell you just by looking at it.

It also helps that my skin is relatively well-conditioned to hot water because I frequently take hot baths with water that pricks like a needle when it touches my skin.

My left arm feels a little bit stiff but it should be just fine.

Thank God for that.

    1. Thanks Bako, but the salt will sting because of the iodine it contains. The hand is fine now, as good as before.
