All the nerve endings could be dead and feel no pain and you think it's grand. But that patch of skin could be dead. If it is, time is of the essence. Go to the doctor tomorrow only to get a second opinion or call the caredoc. That's serious man. I'll drive down tomorrow and bring you in myself.;) GO.

I went to a neighbour that's a nurse and she is dressing it. She reckons the examination glove I was wearing had a hole and made it worse by holding the acid up to the arm instead of soaking into the shirt or dripping off. As she says herself, I have stupidly fast healing but I need it to heal all the stupid things I do:o

Enjoying the R+ R at the moment so it's not all bad. Anyway get it seen to...don't do as I do, do as i say :rolleyes:
