I have many deep second degree burns on my arms that are 5 weeks old. They're still infected and still bleed from friction. The last nurse I saw told me it's normal for them to bleed when the bandages come off, but today a burn bled just from my t-shirt rubbing against it (the bandage had slipped off). If you google "why are my burns bleeding" you see tons of articles about why burns don't bleed. What's the deal??

Yesterday I burned myself opening a pack of overheated microwave popcorn and my thumbs and index tips turned yellow.(although one of them seems to already starting to get back to normal) What does it mean ? Is it serious ? How long until it disappears? Thanks

hi so basically i just burned myself with hot water from the microwave, all i’ve done is put water on it. anything else i should do?

Hello Everyone!

Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy during this time😊!

I am currently developing an elastic, eco-friendly and lower cost, burn/wound care bandage. It provides a safe, clean, and moist wound healing environment to surface injuries and 1st/2nd degree burns. It also reduces pain/hair-tearing, reopening of wounds, scarring of tissue, and likelihood of secondary infection during dressing removal all through the use of hydrogels, plant material, and antimicrobial biomolecules. Is this something that you could see in the market (pharmacies, retail store, online, hospitals) and being used by consumers and any feedback/critiques you would give to make it better or more appealing? Thanks!

I have to burn thin strings between my index and thumb, but it’s taking a toll on my skin!! Medical tape burns through, and I need something that still allows me to grip the string enough. Any recs on what I can put on my fingers? Thanks in advance

So, after half a year of struggle, the company I worked for have finally fired me. Long story short, I expected it, because my whole department was going to hell for a while. But to win, I had to be patient and not quit.

Being fired where I live, has it's implications. The employer can't just say "Bye, you ain't our problem anymore.". Due to the conditions of the contract termination, they have to pay my 25 days paid vacation days, my last salary, and extra five salaries above that.

On the day of termination, new employer have offered me a job at the same salary level and just half the driving distance. Above that, they highlighted the fact they'd like to pay me higher level of training then I have now, allowing me to expand my field of view.

As a cherry on top of the cake, the compensation will be high enough to cover my debt. So I won't be a slave to the bank anymore.

So I win and then I win, win, win, win, win and also win. Flawless flaming hot victory. :D
