I’d say no because they’ll pull the skin off

RED CROSS No, don't use any adhesive bandages as they'll stick to the skin and can cause further damage. After cooling, cover the burn with cling film or a clean plastic bag to help prevent infection.

I'm loath to answer this - the last time you had a bit of a 'medical mishap' they chopped your head off. The medical answer is: it depends on the burn. Soooo, with the first caveat in mind - is your hand actually on fire right now?

I think you're supposed to use a non-adherent lintfree dressing and then tape it, dunno how that would hold up under handwashing though

In first aid training they def said if it's not a new burn then you can use clingfilm

This makes sense! Mostly mild luckily with a few blisters (why did I microwave a cup with gold plating which I assumed was fake?)

Make sure nothing sticks to blistered area - gauze & microporous tape -,Lets it breath

First Aid training often suggests clingfilm over burns. You want something that protects against it getting infected but is not adhesive. Lots of running water (don't submerge) and then clingfilm

On the question of washing, perhaps you know this already, I only recently discovered that it's the lathering of the soap rather than the heat of the water which matters for killing bugs, so you don't need to re-scold your burns. (also, ouch! hope you're OK!)

Aha! That is very good to know, thank you
