What to do after salt and ice challenge to prevent scares, bubbles, or swelling? Please help me it hurts a lot :`(
Time is the only cure. Do not submerge it in ice water. Keep it clean with lukewarm soap and water, don't pop any blisters, and put some Lidocaine or Neosporin or Cortisone cream on it, gently and sparingly, and maybe cover with gauze depending on how likely the top layer of skin is to break. You don't want infection from breaks in the skin. Later you can try various soothing lotions with aloe and vitamin E, but you may always have a scar. Take Tylenol or ibuprofin for pain; they really do help.
How to cure the salt and ice challenge frostbite: first you get a paper towel and put vinager on it and rub it on your arm, then you put ice on your frostbite
It was actually one of the dumbest things I've done..
I did it with my friend, and I had mine on for 2 minutes. It was nasty afterwards. To reduce swelling and redness, you're going to want to soak it in warm water for about 5-10 minutes depending on how long you had the ice-cube on for. It may burn for a minute when you do this, but it works and makes it less noticeable. After, dry it, and rub some Polysporin on the burn gently, then gently rub on some Extra strength skin lotion. I do this before I go to bed, and when I wake up in the morning. This is like a one and done thing. Try not to do it all the time. It is very painful. Hope this helps! Oh and if your wondering how long it takes to heal, it depends on how long you have the ice-cube on for. If its on for a few seconds, maybe 2-3 days. But over a minute, approximately 3-4 weeks. It all depends.
Remember to take care of it. If the skin breaks, rub the polysporin on and rap gozz on it, or a band-aid, to prevent swelling. If it gets worse, etc; Turns purple, extreme pain or gets oozy, contact a doctor for an appointment.
Take care!
I did it on my had and on the second day it is still burning what should I do
How many of us fear for our world, if people are willing to do this type of thing for fun ?
I've done the salt and Ice challenge, I did it tree time and two are fine but one is really red with a purple look to it and is killing me, what can I do?
Hmmm... not do it a 4th time maybe?
I popped the blister/burn from it! What should I do now? Because its like raw and it hurts really bad )':
I did it and it been one day so far I got 11 frostbies all over my hand don't do it I been crying I can't touch things to hot or to cold and when I go outside the sun hurts I can't even touch the door knob I regret it I got burn gel plus it makes it relief but not for a long time and it itches to deaf I mean like crazy then I was dumb enough that I did it twice on both of my hands I'm just praying to get this off my hands help meee
Wow, so many people doing stupid things. Scary to think of people willing to hurt themselves for sport. What idiocy!
My only suggestion is to stop being stupid, start thinking, use your brain, and if it hurts, don't do it! It's called common sense. I would suggest you all get some! :(
I did it 3 day ago and I still have marks on my hands I did it on both of my hands and it really hurts... they are like a pinky color please help!
Why are the people who do this stupid thing the same ones who don't read the previous replies? GO BACK AND READ FROM THE BEGINNING.
Help how? We can't make you smart enough to stop doing stupid things.Quote:

I did the salt and ice challenge today and I think I held it for a minute. I have blister looking thing. It isn't purple or blue but its just red. What is it? And what should I do?
It's a burn, and it will leave a scar.Quote:

The scar will be a reminder to not be a sheep and do something just because it looks cool.
Geesh! When will the idiocy end?
Put some Lidocaine, Cortisone cream on it this will reduce the pain a bit and can help for healing then cover with gauze Later you can try some lotions with aloe . Take some pain killers ibuprofin, paracetamol or metamizole. ı hope you won't try it one more..
What about vasoline will that work??
What really works best is just to not be stupid and don't do it at all.
Darnit, that's what I was going to say!Quote:

I did it, so stuped its like the 3rd day and its pinkish with like purple or brown spots on it, my question is how to take it off and how long will it last, Please HELP !:'(
You can't take it off. It's a burn! It will last until it heals, and then it will scar. It will be a reminder to not do stupid things.Quote:

Show your parents, tell that how stupid you were, and see if you need to go to the doctor.
You deserve people who told you to do that what do you get from doing it other than... pain... pain... pain
What?Quote:

[*] This is completely legitimate. I did NOT make this up. I got it online, earned for my 20+ years on the interwebs
Nice! Thanks for the help!

I just wanted to let you know I'm all right. It's a long story. My friend, Jerry, turned 21. So a couple of friends and I take Jerry out for his first few drinks. I'm the designated driver. After Jerry and his friends got settled in the bar, I went to talk to this hot chick. This is where things got crazy. I woke up, and Harry was telling me to take the ice and salt challenge. I had no idea what it was, but I agreed. So my friend placed ice infused with naga bhut jolokia, a hot pepper, in the tub. I see them place salt, but little did I know it was actually itching powder. I laid in the tub for about 1 minute and 15 seconds. The pain was so unbearable. I left the tub, and Darek gave me a towel that has a bit of red dye. I look at myself in the mirror and thought I had blisters. So I freak out and place a post here. I must have passed out from the pain or the intoxication. Maybe it was both. I wake up in a park. That is about 20 minutes away from home. I'm running back home to get ready and take my Calculus based Physics test. I didn't have time to make another post to let you guys know I'm fine.
Good News... I aced my test.
Bad News... I think the girl roofied my water. (So sad. She was hot!)
Scary Part... I have no idea who was driving.
DrOfCommonSense. I have a huge issue with your post.
Here it is, and brace yourself.

The words designated driver, and passing out from pain or intoxication, intoxicated enough to wake up in a park, do not go hand in hand. Just fyi.Quote:

I don't think all these "dont be stupid" comments are helpful... that's not going to cure the burn they have on their hand/arm or wherever and frankly, its quite annoying. Its already done, they can't go back in time and change that... those comment are completely unhelpful and annoying
So what are you suggesting? You say our comments aren't going to cure the burns... so then are you saying we can make comments that will cure the burns?Quote:
