Heres the results a few days later

Did you go to the ER?
If not why not?
Unless you have very small fingers from what you have shown the burn area on just one digit is large enough to require proffesional appraisal, especially as it is on a surface that is almost always moving and stretching.

Can't really think of any job where the loss of a digit wouldn't be detrimental.

Not only that, just think of all the pies they've got to try and get a finger into... I'm surprised they're not having extra digits surgically attached.

No.

Two reasons its not that bad of a burn at least it dident seem that way untill the skin started to shluff off and my healthplan has a big deductable.

Meh.. they would have done the same as I did... clean and dress the wound.

There are a few things I should probably mention. Firstly as mentioned before the burn did not seem that bad at first mild stinging and slight discoloration. No signs of blistering. I was not diligent and apply ice as I should have. Did I mention I had a few drinks at the time?

The other thing is I worked on my house/yard all day the next day including cleaning gutters and working on the (currently green) pool. These are not exactly the most sterile enviroments and being wet.... well by the end of the day most all of the dead skin had shluffed off and it looked angry as hell The stupidity of doing all that dirty work finally set in.

That evening I cut away the remaining dead skin and cleaned the wounds throughly with water/soap then Hydrogen peroxide followed by alchohal... ow ow ow... Not a drop of neosporin in the house. So I had to bandage them dry. Removing the bandages the next day was sheer joy I assure you. We now have antibiotic ointment in the house.

Ill take another picture tommorow morning and we call all watch the healing
