I’m mad at Charming (SPOILERS/RANT ALERT)

Henry is lucky even to have access to Mr. Gold’s magic to heal his burns. Henry is doomed to risk being burned over and over, because there is no way to prevent Henry from returning there.

I think the burn is a consequence of “going deeper” into the netherworld. Before when they were just sleeping, Henry and Aurora didn’t have burns. It wasn’t until they made contact with one another that the burns started popping up. I don’t think one is supposed to be communicating in that inferno and when you go “deeper” to explore the area or communicate, you suffer the burns.. or worse.

So even though Henry is fated to go back to that room until his mind can protect him from going there, he isn’t going “into the deep” of the netherworld and therefore will not have any physical harm.

Which is why Charming went in. Because he had to go in deeper to get the message across.

This is what I was gonna post, but you beat me to it. Yes, the room is scary just being in it, and Henry will have to deal with that again when he sleeps, but it was when they tried to communicate that the flames seemed to leap up, to try and prevent them making contact. As long as one is just IN the room, and not trying to do anything in there, I don’t think there’s a risk of being burned. So Charming took it upon himself to do the truly dangerous bit, to spare Henry more physical injury.
