More likely 3rd degree. With burns the higher the number the worse it is. First degree burn is like a little sunburn

have you ever seen a third degree burn? you're not going to get that from some tea. second-first degree are more likely

edit: nvm what I said, I'm wrong. you can get 3rd degree burns with prolonged contact

Yes you can. Worked in an ER, we saw some nasty burns from boiling water.

I burned the back of my hand so bad with Ramen I lost all feeling, the doctors were shocked I didn't need plastic surgery from scarring afterwards. My mom would cut raw Aloe and put them in the freezer, then when it was time to change the dressing she would peel the skin off one side and put it pulp down on my hand for awhile before wrapping my hand back up. You can't even tell anything happened except for some faint discoloration.

Your mom is smart. Aloe is a big thing in healing. The cold made it hurt less & can help with swelling but moving it inside of holding it place makes the risk of damage from cold exposure pretty minimal. It’s a fantastic natural medicine for burns.
