Update to The Scalding On My Thigh

Many thanks for all the concerns with regard to the unfortunate scalding i had on Singapore's National Day; three weeks had since passed and i think the time is about right for me to provide an update! 

With the use of the miracle burn cream (from China) and a topical skin healer (for pets), the condition of the injury saw a stark improvement within one day; the water blisters were still there but at least the skin didn't seem as red. 

The protective layer, otherwise known as the dead skin covering the wound, felt a bit strange and as you can see, i can totally move them up, left and right. 

Problem was with sleeping and showering; a wrong movement and the blister would break, showing a raw red wound that pulsated with pain when in touch with water. There were also times when i just happened to brush the wound against my mattress and the thin skin would just easily tear apart; eliciting a loud moan from me!

Condition one week later.

Love-hate relationship with the scabs; love it for the fact that the skin is healing and hate it because i was so tempted to tear them off my body! And the itch was so unbearable! 

Looking like a piece of molted snake skin; this actually fell off naturally. Guess I did manage to resist the temptation to pluck them after all although the issue with natural detachment is the mess on my bed. Luckily, they were dry and easily removable using the vacuum cleaner.

Progress over the next few days! 

I did mention earlier that i used a cream and a topical powder to treat the scald; didn't bother seeing a doctor as the condition didn't deteriorate and i could do without an MC. Above are the two items; Baofuling cream and Pet Heritage Topical Skin Healer.

Former, which is only available in China, works miraculously with scalds and burns, and the latter is a herbal powder that i chanced upon when Rubee was alive and love how it heals up an open wound so quickly! 

Three weeks later; no more scabs, no more raw skin, no more pain and no more itch. The mark is there but time would reduce its scarring. I am speaking from experience as burns and scalds are not that uncommon in my life, given how clumsy i usually am.
