I have used the ice protocol many times over the years. It has always worked. And without scarring. When I was store manager for Eckerd Drugs, a lady in the restaurant was cleaning the back splash of the oil cooker. she slipped and dunked her hand in the boiling oil up to halfway of her elbow. The skin had started slipping. I got one of the girls to get me a bag of shaved ice. Put her hand and arm on a towel covered in the ice and then covered the arm with shaved ice. wrapped her up in another towell. The ambulance finally got there, and transported her to the hospital. The Doctors told her that what I did saved her arm. She would have lost it otherwise. At that time 1960's I don't think they used CS. But her arm recovered, she did not loose any skin and it healed without a single scar. There are many other stories like this one, but this is the worst burn I treated....
