Second degree burn
About 4 days ago I burnt myself with hot water straight out of the kettle I splashed with cold water but didn't hold for any amount of time it's very sore now and the top layer has come away showing a yellowish skin underneath it's so sore I'm just wondering how I can help the healing process as I've used nothing so far but it's so sore.

Please do not ignore it. Could be that it's only a superficial scald. But it's better to check and then take the appropriate treatment for it. Till then you can use Neosporin ointment and keep it away from dust
Next Steps
Please consult a plastic surgeon asap
