Urgh. Have had a productive day cleaning my aunt’s new deck with a blower and a pressure washer and then tackled one of her disorganised pantry cupboards that had a thick layer of what turned out to be glucose syrup from a bottle at the back that fell on its side. Did really well carefully extracting and cleaning all the bottles and packets and trays but the worst part was getting the gunk off the cupboard itself, I poured hot water and scrubbed…
…but ended up pouring some on my left hand and it huuurts yo. Luckily it wasn’t boiling and I quickly put it under cold running water. First ten minutes and then after it kept stinging I did another 20. Think I’ll see a dr tmrw if it doesn’t subside. I’m definitely done for today. Luckily I get to leave with plenty of delicious food
If the burn is still red tomorrow, then def see a dr as it’s probably a 2nd deg burn. If it subsides overnight then that seeing a dr may be overkill for a 1st deg burn. Hope it goes away overnight for you. Burns is horrible painful. I’m not sure what the current advice is for 1st deg burns. Maybe a nice g & t will help you sleep.
