Burns From Hot Water Bottle

A couple questions with this post-
I get excruciating period cramps and found the only thing that really works is heat. I noticed tonight though I have burns from the hot water bottle. Will these go away? I am worried they’ll be here for months.
My other question being does anyone have recommendations for pain relief? I’ve tried every painkiller, it only mildly helps. Natural remedies like certain teas and vitamins don’t do anything. I can’t sleep it off either as the cramps will literally drive me to tears frequently.
Heat so far is the only relief.

Boyfriend Messed Up Finger- Is it getting worse & how to treat?

My boyfriend- (20 yro, AMAB) got his finger caught in an air rifle mechanism on Saturday the 2nd. It was bleeding for hours initially and we managed to wait it out and dress it with antibiotic cream + bandages and wrap.
On Tuesday the 5th we re-wrapped it and added more antibiotic. The first three pictures are from that day, before we re-wrapped.
Today Friday the 8th we unwrapped it again. Part of his skin on the bigger side of the wound has come off, and the skin around the edges looks white. The last three pictures are from today.

Should he see a doctor? Has it gotten worse or will it get worse? And how can we treat it at home?
