What was the worst burn you ever had?

That accident must have been horrific. I was in fifth grade. Mom had spent the day making homemade chicken noodle soup. It had been on the stove all day. I was in a rush to get to hockey practice. My sister had her homework spread out at the dinner table so I went into the TV room. I was reaching for a TV tray at the same time I was sitting down, bowl of hot soup in hand. The tray got caught on something and somehow, I spilled the contents of the bowl in my lap. I had 2nd degree burns on my left hip, thigh and abdomen. I had third degree burns on my right side. From my abdomen to my knee, there was skin that was bubbled up. The worst scar is on my right thigh and it resembles Australia and New Zealand, lol. I spent a couple of days in the hospital and a week at home. I wasn't able to play hockey that season.

I had a few while working in the kitchen, especially in the morning rush when all the four burners are busy and you accidentally touch some hot pan while trying to stir things in others. But nothing serious.

Poor Amber, what a horrible procedure! I burnt the palm of my left hand. I did a very stupid thing, I had a pan (with a metal handle) inside the oven, I thought the oven was off, it was 410 F hot, I grabbed the handle of the pan and I burnt all my left palm. It took a while to heal.

Goodness, that does sound painful. I have been blessed to only have small burns. The worst type for me was when I was younger I blistered my chest at the beach. It was horrid. I was fortunate that it didn’t scar me.

I've had really bad sunburns I had to be hospitalized after, a burn from melting plastic my younger brother and I were playing with and a burn from scalding water from an exploding pressure cooker but nothing like the burn you have.

You have had a lot of pain over your life yet remain remarkably upbeat. I admire you for that.

I got second degree burns from a pop tart once. That was nasty. I have heard that therapy for burns is incredibly painful.

Ouch, that was surely painful. When I was 9 years old, my father accidentally poured hot water on my left leg. I couldn't describe the pain then. I had to pour raw egg into it so the burning sensation would disappear. We were in a remote barrio, and there were no clinics or hospitals. I thought I would die; however, I survived. The scar i still here, covering my lower front leg.

It was nothing less than painful to even read it. That must have really really hurt, isn't it? But I'm happy that it was way back. And now it's ok. But you said, it was on your upper arm. So it might not be weird visible. Am I right? Coming to my personal experiences, I once had a nasty fall where I fractured and dislocated my right shoulder. It was quite painful for the first 8 days as it was not quiet clear how much the damage was. But after X-rays, the doctor found out that it was dislocation as well as hairline fracture. As far as the dislocation was concerned, because it was not quite late, doctors took a chance to try to locate it naturally. And by the grace of God, it worked. But the momvements of my right hand are a bit limited now.

I can’t even explain how it happened- well I could - but it would take forever! I poured boiling water on my head! I rushed to the nearest pharmacy that was around a fifty minute drive away as I was still living on the farm. Instead if giving me ointment etc the pharmacist sprang into action and cut leaves if an Aloe Vera plant that was behaving itself in a pot by the entrance door. She split the leaves and smeared the juice onto my burns. Instant relief. I stopped crying whilst she administered to me and told me what to do. Since then I’ve always had an aloe Vera plant at hand.

I have two scars on my left arm from when I was 4 years old. I got scalded by a hot cup of coffee. I rarely take any notice of it but other people do.

I'm sorry. That burn and aftercare sounds atrocious. I've never been burned too badly.

I am not sure. Motorcycle incident? Oven incident? Soldering iron incident? None as serious as yours.

I've only had minor burns. The worst burn I had was a sunburn when I was quite little. I was sick on the train all the way home. I must have had sun poisoning. We were at Virginia Beach VA.

As far as I can recall, just a burn from candles but nothing serious. Fire regardless is not to be meddled wtih.

I have had minor burns like anyone has. When I was a patient in the Childrens Hospital, the summer that I turned 12, I had a roommate, much younger than myself with a terrible burn. 80% of her little body (she was only about 5 or 6 years old) was burned terribly. She was wearing a snowsuit and while climbing into a basement window in her snowsuit, the elastic on the bottom of the cuff of her pant section of her snowsuit, caught on something on the hot water tank that she was climbing onto and it released, quickly, all of the water in the tank. Needless to say that she was burned, and what made it worse was that she was hanging upside basically with her leg caught and the hot water filled her snowsuit, saving only her head. She had huge welts on the majority of her body, that she could not even wear clothing over. After the skin grafting to the front part of her body, she would spend her days on her tummy on a little surf board type of thing on small casters. The nursing staff would bring her meal trays into her and set them on the floor so that she could eat them. I know that is extreme but the memory is forever in my mind, and I cannot say that I have ever had anything in comparison or even close. I was thinking of that little girl, and I wonder how she got along, as we were only room mates for a few days and then I was moved to the post surgical floor after my operation.

Actually if I think about it I have been lucky and never had a really bad burn,

Pretty sure the burn I'm currently peeling from is the worst one I've ever had. It's finally peeling.

The worst burn l have experienced happened in 2014. Hot water from the kettle spilled just above my knee. There was a blister, then healing, then a kind of star shaped scar. I consoled myself by thinking of it as a tattoo which l unintentionally put there...

Worked in a fast food van at the grand prix and you got burns all up your arms all day
