burn injury 

So, I accidentally splashed boiling hot oil on my forearm while cooking >,<

Immediately rushed to the sink to run cold water on it, and currently have a cold pack pressed against the spot that got hit. I've got some red marks forearm, and I don't like the look of one of them because its texture is different from the surrounding skin.

re: burn injury, better 

My arm is doing much better this morning. Before, I was in near-constant pain without a cold compress, but this morning I don't need one. I only feel a little bit of pain when pressure is applied to the burn spot.
