Eeeeeewwww!
No pictures in this post and you'll be thankful for that when you hear what it is about.
Monday night I burned the everlovin' monkey out of my thumb when I was steaming green beans. So yeah, steam burn. I spent a good 5 hours with my hand on ice and all mustard'ed up and the next day with the mustard. So anyway, my thumbs are sensitive, especially the right one that got burned the worst (and over the largest area).
But the fun part came yesterday. My skin started tearing off. EEEWWW! And ouch, but mostly EEEWWW! I guess the steam caused a blister and now the top of the blister is coming off? Very not cool.
I wasn't even going to post about it because, honestly, if I posted about every time I got burned or some other minor injury, I'd have the worlds longest (and most boring) blog ever (though that last bit is probably debatable anyway). But the gooey skin melting off.... Now that's post-worthy.
See, aren't you glad there aren't pictures?

eewwww is right, no fun at all!! Thank you for no pictures. You probably know that the raw flesh under that dissolving skin is prime territory for infection, keeping it covered and drenched in vitamin E might be a good thing til it starts to be skin stuff again. It's usually good to leave the skin even if it isn't going to be viable, just because it is a non-hurty covering. If your thumbs don't work, it will be like the kitty haiku, no opposable thumbs!!! Oh no! Luv ya'
