All refrigerant burns should be treated by a doctor regardless of severity. I have been in the HVAC business as a technician for almost a decade and am now out of the field from injuries and nerve damage from downplaying what I thought and appeared to be a minor injury. Just think about it , depending on the refrigerant it reached temps close to saturation at atmosphere. with most refrigerants this temp. would be in excess of -30*F. Which means the water in your cells and around your nerves probably reached -20*f or lower. SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP! and always use 2 hands while removing your hoses. One to apply pressure to maintain positive seal until threads are free.

When the refrigerant passes through the metering device some of it starts to flash from a liquid to a gas because?

the pressure of the refrigerant drops significantly as it passes through the metering device. This sudden pressure drop causes the refrigerant to expand and vaporize, leading to the flash gas phenomenon. This phase change from liquid to gas helps lower the temperature of the refrigerant as it enters the evaporator coil.
