if its red, it means the shock went directly to your brain and is destroying vital cells.

Being someone who's been electrocuted many times, i say you have no worry. A little zap won't do anything to harm you, except for a little red mark like you described.
Now, if it's a BURN, and your skin is like... bubbling, and it does NOT hurt at all and that is surprising you... go to the doctor.
But since you probably weren't grounded, the electricity went into you and then just kinda stopped cause there wasn't anywhere else to go. If you got seriously electrocuted, it would feel like you got punched in the chest or back by the incredible hulk, and you'd probably be twitching, screaming, and foaming at the mouth.
in other words, you're fine. |

go to the hospital or call there if you have a serious concern. i doubt it will cause any serious harm i know someone who plugged something in a plug that had water in it [ they didnt know ] and they wernt hurt, also i was shocked because my cell phone charger was wet and i was leaning on it but i really didnt think any thing much of it until i realized i was getting shocked , its probably in your mind mostly . |

A shock is kind of like a burn. It will hurt for a while. You really need to get a new plug for your laptop because that is a real fire hazard. If it shocked you then it could easily catch something on fire. |

You will wake up tomorrow morning as a superhuman with the ability to control all electronic devices with your mind. It would be wise for anyone not to upset you as you can now make nearby electronic devices to explode at will. The government will come after you to research your supernatural abilities and thus begins the journey to escape their imprisonment and retain your identity. |

"Treatment depends on the severity of the burns or the nature of other injuries found.
Burns are treated according to severity.
Minor burns may be treated with topical antibiotic ointment and dressings.
More severe burns may require surgery to clean the wounds or even skin grafting.
Severe burns on the arms, legs, or hands may require surgery to remove damaged muscle or even amputation.
Other injuries may require treatment.
Eye injuries may require examination and treatment by an ophthalmologist, an eye specialist.
Broken bones require splinting, casting, or surgery to stabilize the bones.
Internal injuries may require observation or surgery." |

Nothing, you might get a blister but you should be fine, just be glad you got shocked after the voltage had been stepped down... if you touched the other side where the electricty flows in you'd probably be dead.
I suggest you put the laptop charger in the bin and get a new one before you kill yourself.
Consider that next time the electrical fault could start a fire and burn your house down. |

Self-Care at Home
Brief low-voltage shocks that do not result in any symptoms or burns of the skin do not require care. For any high-voltage shock, or for any shock resulting in burns, seek care at a hospital's emergency department. A doctor should evaluate electric cord burns to the mouth of a child.

It's fine it's just irritated. I was shocked to the point the area turned black and nothing happened but a little pain.
You'll be fine, don't put ice on it though that will burn your skin. Get some burn ointment out of your first aid kit if you have it. |

Nothing serious will happen to you. It is red and it hurts because of the exposure of your skin to the electricity, it should go away in a couple of days. |

You haven't keeled over so you're probably okay. You need to wrap the charger with duct tape or black electrical tape ASAP!! |

Electric Shock
(continued)
When to Seek Medical Care
For a high-voltage shock, seek care at a hospital's Emergency Department. Following a low-voltage shock, call the doctor for the following reasons:
* If it has been more than 5 years since your last tetanus booster
* Burns that are not healing well
* Burns with increasing redness, soreness, or drainage
* Any electric shock in a pregnant woman
A person shocked by high voltage (500 volts or more) should be evaluated in the Emergency Department. It may be prudent to get prehospital care, usually obtained by calling 911. Following a low-voltage shock, go to the Emergency Department for the following concerns:
* Any noticeable burn to the skin
* Any period of unconsciousness
* Any numbness, tingling, paralysis, vision, hearing, or speech problems
* Any electric shock if more than 20 weeks' pregnant
* Any other worrisome symptoms

Nothing. There is no residual effect. The redness and stinging is the worst that will happen and it will go away. Just be careful and get your computer fixed or put black electrical tape on it for the time being. |
