1. The Hipforums announces it first ever fundraiser. After nearly 30 years online, we must ask our members and guests to help support the website. Thanks to years of ongoing financial support of our members, advertisers and volunteer admin staff, we have been able to keep the forums alive.

    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    So please donate any amount to our PayPal account donate@Hipforum.com to keep the site going. If we can get enough for a few months fees, we won't need to nag you again!

    You could also subscribe to the forums and get an upgrade to Supporter or Lifetime Supporter here

    2 days ago i burnt myself badly enough to have a chocolate chip sized welt on my chest, thanks to an exploding chocolate chip! blah. it's pretty much in the line of sun, directly. how much pain should i take in covering this up?

    also, to prevent scarring - i have some pure vitamin e oil. anything else i need?

    Yeah, I'd use the 45 spf sunscreen. Burns do not do well, when they get reburned. There is also a product, whose name I cannot remember, which is for scars. It has onion extract as it's main ingredient, but it is sold in regular stores. Mederma I think.
