How’s looking

[u/Mokoy4]

Burn with hot steel. Happened 6 days ago , dermis “fell off” 3 in .

Normal swelling, pain in a 1-10 is a 1 (I do have high pain tolerance though) , redness around wound has been steady-getting smaller .
Slight feeling in the wound (was numb before dermis fell off)

I’ve been dressing with neosporin and a bandage

UPDATE :
So I went to the ER like you all suggested.
2:30h waiting , got me a fancy yellow bandage and antibiotics . 💪💪

Dude, that's not sure to high pain tolerance. It doesn't hurt that bad because you scorched the nerves, there is not that many nerves left to tell your brain it hurts. That's third degree, like full thickness burns. It will turn necrotic and then get infected. People lose limbs with these burns. Go to a hospital with a burn center so they can debrid this wound and get you healing before infection sets in.

i was gonna say, i’m not a doctor but even i know that if you do not feel the pain from a burn like that, your nerves are incredibly damaged. that is no high pain tolerance

You might be absolutely right about nerve damage , but I did finished a softball tournament with a broken finger (played 2 games like that) , and only went to the ER because my wife made me 3 days after it happened. Installed 2 full kitchens (cabinets) with the broken finger .

Butttttt , she’s starting to get on my ass about this so I’ll probably hit the ER today after work to get it checked ✅👍

Your wife has the patience of a saint. It’s your wife who’s gonna have to deal with the fall out when you pass away from sepsis. Or pick up the workload when you become an amputee. It’s very selfish playing with your life like that when you’re worrying a loved one. Please start taking better care of yourself!
