I Had a Small Accident

It's not that serious but my leg accidentally gets in contact with the motorcycle hot part. I don't know how it's called. Darn, it was very hot! I thought it's nothing since I was able to get away from it almost instantly. But it seems that it can burn your skin even if you're not even near it. Good thing I have some ointment for burns and put some right away. But the tingling sensation really hurts. Somebody parked it in front of our gate. I went out to get something from the store quickly and I returned home with a 1st degree burn.

Apply a ointment but do not cover your leg, it should heal in a few days.

@LadyDuck Thank goodness. It looks fine already even though it looks like an eggplant now.

Ouch! I know from experience how that hurts. When I was young, my cousin had a motorcycle and I rode on the back for a while. When I got off, my leg got burned pretty bad.

That must have hurt since your skin is more sensitive then. Mine is alright now. Good thing it didn't have that much damaged.

@simone10 Good thing mine isn't that bad. It's healed now but it looks like a bruise and it's itchy.

usually if you run out your ointment, you can use toothpaste and apply it to your injured skin. its good to gives a cold sensation on the burned skin. this is the first aid to a less severe burn

True. But good thing I had the burn ointment from my medicine cabinet. It really helps during these type of incidents.

Oh dear that's painful. You should get some ointment for that, There are over the counter medicines for burns. Hope you are fine.

Burns can be very painful and they get infected very easily so I hope you'll look after it.

Do you have an aloe vera plant in your garden? The aloe vera jelly is good for treating burns. I hope it is getting better.

Yes, it hurts a lot. I did not expect that motorcycle to park in our place though.
