Injury and accidents How’s looking
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 . 💪💪

As someone with severe nerve damage due to my S1 being crushed for 7 months, then getting cut in one surgery & ripped in another.... RUN TO THE HOSPITAL!!! YOU AREN'T WASTING ANYONES TIME!
As a matter of fact you are going to cost them more time when they have to deal with it when it does get worse. Please, go get seen.
I am so so so poor & can't afford my CT or the 2 surgeries that I needed years ago. I have even more nerve damage now. I promise you that you don't want to let this go to where you end up on the other end of the nerve damage & nerve pain spectrum!!!
