I've just had a pretty scary experience while riding my bike a kite thread cut my face and now I've got this burning sensation. I'm really worried and unsure what to do next. Do I need to see a dermatologist right away, or is there any cream or medicine I can apply at home to help with this? Would love some quick advice on this.

I recommend cleaning the affected area with a gentle cleanser and applying an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection. You can also take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Tylenol to help with the burning sensation. If the pain or redness persists, it would be best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.
