Chemical burn - soothing and treating.. will it scar? |
i recently (last night) used veet hair removal gel to remove hair from my legs. around my right knee cap, it burned, blistered, and bruised my skin. It also made it bleed and created open sores in that area. It is still inflamed and red. It slightly bubbled up, last night. My mother is a nurse and said to treat it we should rinse it thoroughly with cool water. We did that. Is there anything else we can do or anything that will help soothe it. Also, will it scar my leg? It depends how deep the burn goes. If it was just the epidermal layer (dead skin tissue that is quickly replaced as it sloughs off naturally), then you should not have a scar. If you damaged the dermis (layer with capalaries, nerves, and hair follicles), then you may indeed have a scar. It sounds from your description that it was not that deep of a chemical burn, so I would guess you will not have a scar. OUCH! |
