Burnt finger :-(
20 Answers
Hey all!
Ok, so I cooked my finger trying to make myself lunch on Monday, managed to touch the red hot bar at the top of the grill with the back of my middle finger! At first it didnt register and I didnt feel anything, just looked at it and it was a funny yellow/orange colour so being clever I rubbed it and then the pain lol! Along with the horrible smell of burnt skin!
Now it is a kind of inch long open wound with dark red round the outside, and most of the bottom of my finger is also red.
Just popped into the chemist who said yep the middle looks infected and I need to get it seen to.
I got some melolyn (sp) and micropore from him, could I just put some of that on with some savlon or something? Or as it is infected would it need something else?
It is very sore and the red round the outside is spreading. Going to the Drs about it is jst hassle with time off work and I tried to go in there on my way home but they were closed!
It hurts! Please help! :-(

Hey boxtop, canary and B00, sorry you posted your answers whilst I was replying to Sqad!
It is really sore and looks abit puffed up aswell.
I have spoken to my SIL who is a pharmacist and she thinks the fucidin cream might help, so my finger is now wrapped up in fucidin, melolin and micropore!
Having to go to the drs tomorrow is really not good as there are already people of in my dept and hmm!

Hi all!
I went in to work today and was told that there is a walk in centre not far from work, so headed over there this afternoon and got seen very quickly!
It would seem the fucidin worked very very well as when I took the bandage I had off, the redness had gone done and the Dr said that it was looking very good and to carry on with what I was doing! :-) So I dont need antibiotics at the mo, but she said if it does look dodgy again then I will need to see the nurse at my Drs about it.
