Last night i made myself a cup of tea, as i went to take a drink my arm got bumped and i ended up spilling hot tea all over my leg... now i have second degree burns on my inner thigh
I hope you went to the ER, 2nd degree burns need treatment and If the blisters burst they can become infected Hotwater
you really think i should go to the er? i have been keeping it clean and dry i dunno, i want to avoid the doctor if i can
no im not, but i looked on like three different websites and i am pretty sure its second degree.. heres something from webmd... Second degree burns - -Superficial partial-thickness burns injure the first and second layers of skin and are often caused by hot water or hot objects. The skin around the burn turns white (blanches) when pressed, then turns back to red. The burn is moist and painful with blistering and swelling that usually lasts for at least 48 hours. -Deep partial-thickness burns injure deeper skin layers and are white with red areas. They are often caused by contact with hot oil, grease, soup, or microwaved liquids. This kind of burn is not painful, but it can cause a sensation of pressure. The skin looks spotted, remains white when pressed, may appear waxy in some areas, and is dry or slightly moist. Possible infection is an important concern with these burns.
haha. im not really worried about the burn too much, only if it gets infected... then i may worry a bit.
Such is life. We never expect tragedy, and when it hits us life is never the same. If I were you I'd get the entire foot amputated, just in case.
why were you pouring still boiling tea on your legs? ... it would probably have to be damn near still bubbling for there to be second degree burns, ,but then that would probably be pretty unbearably painful and you would WANT medical treatment, and not be just whining about it on a message board.
