burned my arm

[42_42_42]

I baked like 20 dozen cookies yesterday and while moving cookies from pan to cooling rack I some how managed to knock the inside of my arm against the pan, fresh from the 375 deg F oven, so, despite proper treatment, I now have a lovely 3" long dark pink line on my pale pale skin. Most likely will scar as I scar easily.

Ouch!!!!

Get some aloe (keep it in the fridge) and some vitamin E oil - both of those will work wonders!

You can get OTC burn cream, ask the pharmacist. Don't forget, cold/ice.

and what kinda cookies? Hmmm??

Sugar, chocolate chip, and cream cheese. They're all gone (took them to the soup kitchen Wed night).

I ran it under water forever then put on plenty of aloe and have been re-applying the aloe regularly. When I was at the groc store today I got some antibiotic/burn cream. So it's properly taken care of. Just looks real ugly.

I did the same thing a couple years back when I was on the job (I was a baker). 800 degree oven + human flesh = Zombie Scar that's still visible when my body gets over heated.

Be sure to invest in real Aloe. An actual Aloe plant is best but the bottled stuff is okay when you can find it. Apply it twice a day and the scar will deminish. Mine is almost barely visible now.

I've done that once or twice. Hope yours gets better soon!

I'm curious, why do you keep it in the fridge? I have a bottle of aloe gel but it just sits in my bathroom cabinet.

Cookies! Nummy! MMMMMMM. You baked on your own and went to soup kitchen w/ fresh homemade cookies? It's worth a small burn. Good going.
