Correct.
Burn wounds should always be treated with plenty of cold water first (10 to 15 minutes), before applying any kind of medication.

Not on third degree burns unless you want to possibly commit suicide. Shock is bad.

Too late. I'll check today when I take a shower to see if it blistered. It doesnt feel like it, but it might be one of those stealth blisters.!?

Good pun AH

[Dr Strangelove]

Applying cold water to a burn immediately is generally a good idea.

I don't think Space had a third degree burn.

Anyway, also on third degree burns 'first water, the rest comes later'
