How do you know when a b**n needs treatment?
« on: April 25, 2012, 05:45:38 PM »
I've read the first aid thread and I've looked online to see if I can find any pictures that look similiar and I still don't know.
When you feel like letting go, hold on.

Courage does not always roar.
Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

i've heard in the past, but i could well be wrong, that if it is on your hands, face or other sensitive areas then it should be checked..
 
if it's 3rd degree burns or more than 3 inches ...

hope your OK hun, if your not sure best to get it checked anyway ! xxx

I think it's second degree but it's the size of the palm of my hand, but isn't on my hand (or a sensitive area)
