like that (uncovered) it is very prone to infection.
but DO NOT put any cremes / ointments on it.
However, if you are quite worried about it there is no harm in asking your pharmacist. I'm sure they will be able to advise what creams etc you can put on it to aid the healing process.
Burns do hurt like fuck though, isnt there some less painful way of self harming?
no there isnt, as i promised my friends and mum that i wouldnt do it, at least with a burn i can say that burnt it cooking or something, a cut they would know ive done myself.
tbh though, 1 way i found helped was to hold an ice cube on my skin instead of burning myself, and it didn't damage me at all. - although it took some time to learn.
a forgotten angel, may be you could try that? but if you want to chat about anything, you can always pm me too.
thanx 4 the advice everyone
