Last week I managed to burn 2 of my fingers and a part of my palm (upper part) with hot oil.
After cooling the burn under running water for 20 minutes I went to the emergency center so they
could take a look, they stated it was a 1st degree burn mostly , with my middle finger being a 2nd degree (only there a small blister formed). I was burned a few times before but it never looked like this.
My fingers are discolored (some kind of a brown color) and dry (really really dry), they feel like rubber. It's been 6 days now and I'm starting to worry that it will leave scaring. It is not painful, my question would be how long will it take to recover (fully) and what ointment should I be using. I'm using some kind of aloe gel (it's sticky) atm. Thanks in advance.
