You can bet I’ll be much more careful when working around hot curling irons from now on. At this point I’m still showering with a bag on my hand, just in case, but I’ve taken the bandage off of my hand so I can type again. Typing with 7 fingers is no fun.
I'm a mid-twenties SAHM/part-time photographer currently living in Chicago. My husband is from Poland, my son was born in April of 2010, and I'm LDS. I write frequently about parenting, adventures in the kitchen, my faith, and photography. I post daily because I love checking my inbox for new comments, so please take a moment to say hello!
You can also find me over at Jenna Cole, my photography site. If you like to smile and laugh then I would love to take your picture!

Owie!
This is random, but skin after its been burned is so fascinatingly strange and weird. It’s all bubbly and loose.

Ouch! I’ve burned myself so many times on curling irons. The worst was as I was getting ready for my best friends wedding. Take care of it, you don’t want it to scar!

The exact thing happened to me when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade. I grabbed the curling iron by the barrel and shrieked in pain, seeing as this was my first serious burn, and couldn’t function for the rest of the day because the pain was so shocking. And then I had fun playing with the weird, bubbly blisters. It’s gross, yes, but hey, I was 8 or 9.

You poor poor thing!!!!!!! That looks SO PAINFUL! I spilled boiling hot soup on the hand the other day, it didn’t blister but it hurt a heck of a lot. Luckily I work at a doctor’s office so they gave me that Silvadene stuff to put on it.

try putting Water Jel on it, your pharmacist should be able to order it for you. It’s got aloe, vitamin E, tea tree oil, and lidocane (numb is good). When my guy put his hand on a hot burner last year it really helped his hand feel better.
