It's not blistering, or even very red or swollen, but it hurts like a mo-fo.
Try morphine, that's good for pain.
Uh...I'd wrap it tight with a bandaid and try a double vodka tonic, chased with three Motrin. That's my best advice short of actual narcotics.
I just hold an ice cube to a small burn like that.
No miracles, unfortunately, but just make up a bowl with water and some ice (not frostbite level, just enough so it will stay cold) and just leave it in there a while. It won't hurt while it's in the cold water, and eventually those neurons give up on firing quite so much.
It's finally starting to fade a bit. The big problem was that I was trying to go to bed early tonight and I couldn't sleep with the finger throbbing - or, as it turns out, with it in a precariously balanced bowl of baking soda goop. I'm going to go try again now. Wish me luck.
I've eaten too many tamarind balls tonight, AIFG.

Whee!
I just taught another good class. Now, to sleep an entire night through. I think I've earned it.
Yay for good class! Hope you can sleep.
I wanna take class from ita. But I would suck at it and she would have to yell at me then order the rest of the class to krav my head and torso, and that would not be totally fun.
ita doesn't yell in class. Or, she didn't in the one I went to, at least. But I was feeling sick, so maybe she was just being nice. ita's the nicest.
I LOVE MY DANCE CLASS. Just, you know, FYI. I learned sooooo many things tonight. Including a tango! And I have never ever tangoed (tango'd?) before, ever. And my teacher didn't believe me. Which was super nice, and also awesome. And I got to do really impressive things during the tango, like a flip which was basically a back walkover, but instead of using your hands, which you don't, you go over the guy's shoulder, and he holds you. And there was also a nifty balonce type thing, but you do it by going off the guy's leg. All VERY nifty. And very new. And very cool. And my teacher simply refused to believe I hadn't done it before, so it was also very flattering. So that was nice.
Also I have pretty hair right now, so I am in a very happy place.
I don't think my happy place should be disturbed with homework.
