(Warning: Photo) What should I do about skin burned by a curling iron?ㅠㅠ

I usually use a curling iron, and although I have occasionally gotten slight burns on my forehead or temples while using it, I have never been seriously burned.

Yesterday, I was using my curling iron as usual, but my hand slipped and I dropped it. Unfortunately, it fell on my leg.ㅠㅠ

It happened just when I was briefly pulling up my long pants, so I dropped it right onto my bare thigh... 😭😭😭

I usually use the curling iron at around 160 degrees, but that day I think it was set to 170 or 180 degrees.

At first, I dropped the curling iron and shouted, "Ah! Hot!" and immediately put it away, but as time went on, it started to feel burning and hot.

I quickly put away the curling iron, and the area that was burning wasn't large or very red, so at first I didn't think it was a big deal.

But it kept burning and hurting... So I just put a band from home on it.

 

This is a photo from yesterday morning.

 

 

After half a day, I removed the bandage and a blister had formed.

 

 

I wondered what it was, so I applied ointment...

 

 

And today, after sleeping for a day and waking up... I was in so much pain that I took off the band.

It is the same area as above. The swelling appears raised due to pus and ointment, but the burned area has become slightly diamond-shaped.

Wow, it really stings and feels hot! It hurtsㅠㅠ

I thought it could happen even if I removed the curling iron in just one second. Maybe it was because the temperature was too highㅠㅠㅠ

 

The problem is that it's a holiday now, so I can't go to the hospital...

What should I do about this? 🫠

All the nearby pharmacies are closed, and since today is Wednesday, the supermarket is also closedㅠ I hurried to Olive Young and bought a burn bandage, and I applied ointment as well.. I have to hold out until Friday for now, but I'm worried it might get worseㅠㅠ

Please share any tips if there are people who have burned themselves with a curling iron 😭
