No, not by itself. The cord should be replaced. If that is impractical, an electrician can cut out the melted part, connect the wires back together, then tape the wires and then the cord around the repair. This fix is pretty safe and secure.

What if the electrical plug on the iron is getting hot?
If it is a molded plug (cap) end and it is getting hot then there is a loose connection inside the cap. There is no way to repair it except by getting rid of it. Cut the cap off and replace is with a new one. There are different kinds at DIY stores. Just make sure that the one that you buy has the right amount of terminal points as the iron's cord has. If the iron's cord has three wires, black white and green then buy a cap with three blades. Don't cut off the green wire on the cord and replace the cap with a two blade unit, the green wire is there to keep you safe.

Can you replace a 10 amp 125 volt extension cord with a 10 amp 250 volt extension cord?
Yes the rated voltage is a maximum. A 250 v cord might be slightly thicker than one for 125 v. <<>> The voltage rating of an electrical extension cord is the insulation factor of the cord. These cords come in two insulation ratings, 300 volts and 600 volts. If the voltage rating is within the parameters of the cord maximums then it is safe to use it on that voltage. The amperage of the cord is based on the wire size of the cord's conductor. The rating of 10 amps will fall within the #14 cord size. Remember the longer the cord the larger the wire size should be to prevent voltage drop at the connected load end.

How safe are electrical outlets to sleep by?
Yes, it is perfectly safe. An outlet is just a place where electricity is available when you need it. It can do you no harm whatsoever by sleeping next to it any more than sleeping next to a electrical cord plugged into that outlet and then run up to a lamp or clock next to your bed. I assume you are worried about the magnetic field created. This field is so low that it is barely detectable at an outlet.
