This is your reminder that you should not ice burns!! Ice is generally for injuries where you want to decrease blood flow, and decreasing blood flow to a burn can further damage the tissue. You should instead run cold water on it (ideally, since it stays cold), soak the area in cold water, or apply a cold wet cloth.
#just saw a post going around that instructed icing burns and since i'm trained in first aid it made me go EEEEEK#don't give medical advice if you aren't trained plsplspls#first aid
