Question: I think i have a 3rd degree burn!?
ok yesterday i was getting ready for work and burned my arm on a 450 degree curling iron!. now 24 hours later it doesn't hurt, looks leathery and is a dark brown/grey!. it's not very big, about the length of a quarter and probably width of a pencil!. i'm not going to the ER so please don't suggest it!. can i see my dermatologist instead!? what do they normally do to treat burns!? i burned myself on the side of my face sort of ( i know i need to just throw this thing away ha) and it got like this burn but it was a lot smaller and later just peeled off and it's fine!. thanks for any input!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
