You're going to be in terrible pain with maybe a severe infection with pus and bleeding for about two to three weeks and then end up with a nasty-looking scar if you refuse to tell your parents and have a doctor help you. There is nothing we can suggest other than proper medical help.

You just gave yourself a burn. The only thing you can do is see a doctor.

This will likely scar. I hope it was worth it. When you do stupid things, you have to learn to accept the consequences of the stupid things you do. In this case, a scar. Hopefully that's all you'll face, because infection is also a possibility, especially without medical attention.

Stupid is as stupid does. Live and learn. The scar will be a reminder.

My cousin and I also did this but it is just pink will it go away fast, I advise everybody not to do this it is painful afterwards and you will feel like a complete idiot. It is kind of swollen but not that badly.

It's a burn. You have given yourself a burn. It needs to be treated like a burn, which means seeing a doctor.

The pink is your skin reacting to being burned. Of course it's painful, burns hurt!

Feeling like an idiot sounds like the first coherent thought you've had. Too bad you didn't realize it before you acted like an idiot.

Anyone that paid attention in grade school science, would know that mixing ice and salt, will give you a burn.

Time to see your doctor. As for it going away, that depends on how badly you burned your skin, and how soon you sought medical attention. Burns can and do scar, so you may be stuck with a reminder of your idiocy.

Good luck.
