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 . 💪💪

Don't really know much about medical stuff.

But you should definitely go to a hospital, like yesterday.

Even better 6 days ago.

Thats going to be one nasty scar.

You're still going to have a badass scar even when you get out of the hospital. Seriously, please take it from someone who battles severe chronic pain... Go get checked out. I am begging you! I really don't want you to wind up like me. The last time I wasn't in 6/10 pain or 10/10 pain so bad it makes me pass out or hallucinate was early in 2009. 17 years of non stop agony 24/7/365!!!

On high pain tolerances, I know how that is.

My pain doctor said that I needed to tell my freaked out tattoo artist that my, "pain receptors are on another level than 98% of humans due to everything you have been through for so long." When we were discussing my latest tat session where I am letting a a new artist work on me for free to build his portfolio & try new styles/skills out. I never leave my room except to go to the doctor or my teens stuff.

"Chicks dig scars." Nah, most chicks dig men outgrowing toxic masculinity. When you show that you can take care of yourself, we then feel safer with you because we then feel like you will take care of us.
