Foot burn update part 3!

Jun 03, 2010 21:57

First post, previous update

So it's been almost 2 months now since I burned my foot. The crater is almost completely filled in now(it was like an 1/8inch deep initially) and the sore has shrunk to roughly the size of a dime (down from quarter sized) but it still looks like hamburger inside.
( it's healing! )

burns, wounds

Gah!

It looks much better. I hope it feels better!

Oh it does. It doesn't really even hurt to wear closed shoes now so long as I put on a bandage. And before it still didn't hurt that much just like a 15 minute period where it would hurt while adjusting to the shoe pressure across the top of it.

I've gotten quite good at slipping on my boots without mussing the bandage around too.

It looks a lot better. Still gross, but better :o)

Looks like it's healing up nicely; soon you will have a badass scar.

Good job avoiding infection! *high five*

It looks so much better!

If it's oozing maybe putting a hot compress on it would help draw some of the junk out?

It's mostly just blood and the scab coming apart when I leave it bandaged and my foot sweats. It doesn't ooze much when I let it dry and don't wear shoes.

But I've been doing periodic salt soaks to help with the peeling process. It works great and really soothes the surrounding skin that's all irritated from having tape on it all the time.
