Can I go to the hospital with a burn?

[Anonymous]

I've burned myself a few times and I just got over it but, my boyfriend burned me last night with the metal but out of our oven that had been on for hours so you can image how hot it was!
The skin around it is swollen and really red, and the actual burn is like a greeny black/red colour and the skin looks broken. It's really hurting me and it's constantly stinging!
will the hospital do anything or is it a waste of time?

Usually, when you hurt your skin in any way then itching is normally a sign of it healig.
(Now I'm assuming you have a health isurance)

A burn usually heals by itself (At least my burnes did and I've had some pretty bad ones) but just to be sure, apply some medicie and if it gets worse go to the hospital.

Yes of course you can go to the hospital with a burn. Did he burn you on purpose though, that's my main concern.

He was saying he was going to for a joke then he did it but I think It was an accident.

Yup need to go to hospital your skin the first line of defense is offline and you can easily develop infection, you need to heal faster

You can definitely go to the hospital with it if you've attempted to treat it with cold water and bandaged it and it hasn't gotten better. The hospital may be able to give you some kind of antiirritant or antibiotic cream or bandage it properly.

Try the hospital, it sounds pretty bad.
