Yes, I burned myself cooking...ummm, heating dinner last night in the oven. Lightly brushed my hand on the rack, and suddenly the air around me turned a vivid shade of blue. Proof positive that cooking dinner is dangerous to your health, I've learned my lesson, won't be doing *that* again!
Anyways, I ran cold water over it for a while, and put neosporin on it right away, and again before I went to bed. I gently wrapped a gauze bandage over it to protect it as I slept, but of course the gauze was nowhere near me when I woke.
The skin is not broken, but it's an icky umm, gray-ish color (not actually gray, but I don't know how else to describe it--taupe?) with red around it, about 1.5 inches long. Starting to blister a little tiny bit on one end.
I've been alternating rounds of neosporin, Mederma, and aloe vera gel and leaving it unwrapped. If anyone else has any more input with how to keep it from looking ugly-er and healing ASAP, I'd appreciate it. I don't want to have to wear body make up on my hand for my big show this Saturday, and I don't want a big red distracting welt on my hand either.
Thanks in advance!
