How is my burn doing? is it normal or should i be concerned?!
Question: Last night i burnt my hand with steam from a kettle(i was pouring boiling water into a pan and the lid fell off and the handle was right above where the lid should have been).
Last night i was in a lot of pain and for about4 hours ater it happened and then today i woke up and its no pain atall. I posted a question on how to stop the pain and some suggestions were very usefull.
Im just wondering how its doing and wether i have any reason to be concerned..ill just say what its like now:
1)2cm by 1cm white raised strips on 3 fingers (one on each)
2)blister on 2 fingers
l3)oss of feeling on the white bits(im sure i could peirce my skin with a needle and feel no pain)
4)rednedd around the white bits
My main concern is i cant feel the white bits..or no pain atall after all the pain i felt last night.
Could it just be because of blisters?
~Any help appretiated!!

Ironic as it sounds, if the affected area desensitized, it indicates a more serious degree of burn. The best way to deal with your burns is to see your doctor immediately.
