Me too actually (1.8 m) ... I've never felt tall. My feet still reach the ground ... which is a plus.

Don't open the pictures if you're squeamish, fortunately (for you) the pictures look way better than "real life" which looks seriously gross. One pic is of when I did it, second one was what it looked like cause I didn't take care of it... Actually the sight of my pasty leg is torture enough...

Wednesday last week I got home, took off my (biking) pants, then a couple minutes later thought I'd go look at something on my bike (think it was the k's). Looked at that and thought why does my leg feel hot? Look down, there's a red mark and my skin basically melted off my leg. You guessed it, touched the exhaust. Not thinking, I kind of stood there for a minute, looking at/inspecting it then thought DUH run it under cold water, stupid. Did that, (but probably not for as long as I should have) for about 10 minutes. But it still hurt like a b*tch and I wanted to watch tv so I put some ice in a ziplock bag and put it against the burn whilst I watched television... An hour of ice, it still hurt but figured I had to tough it out and couldn't hold ice to it forever... Really just looked pink, bit of melted skin, but not THAT bad. Didn't go to the a&e, too lazy.

Roll on yesterday and it's pussing, fresh air doesn't help, dressings don't help, rip off a dressing to go have a shower last night and it ripped what little skin had formed over the burn, right off, blood everywhere, freakin gross. My leg still hurts like hell and the burn looks all kind of messed up.

Now I have to go to get it re-dressed every day at the doctors because it's infected and go on antibiotics and anti-inflamatories (which will also help for another injury I had the following day).

Lesson to newbies (and oldies?) don't be a freaking lazy dumb ass like me. Run it under COLD water straight away for I believe, thirty minutes, and go to the a&e, it's an accident, it's free! It actually didn't look THAT bad initially, but every day it got worse and now it hurts even while I'm standing still!

Ah, yes... clearly you didn't read my blogs, where I ended up with a 2nd degree burn during an adventure ride. Didn't go to A&E for a couple of days, until it felt worse, and yes, infected etc. Had I been a day later, I would have been carted off to hospital, and even then I was 50-50, depending on how the IVs worked out.

Ended up off my feet for 2 weeks at home, with nurse visits every couple of days to treat the burn...

Moral of lesson: Go to A&E and get it checked out!
