Ooouch! That sounds painful! I did the same a few weeks ago. I started out with holding my fingers in cold water. Then I remembered I had a little tube of cream to put on, which is supposed to take some of the pain.

Having your fingers in cold water does help, but it's such a pain having to sit there for ages - I had to one time. Good idea to get some of that Aloe if it helps.

Hope the pain goes away soon!
