[For some reason I didn't see the original post, but I'm reading between the lines of the responses...] I'll third that. Any medical professional (doctor or nurse) will be able to give the burn a once over to see if any deeper damage has occurred. Best thing is to get plenty of cool water onto it to cool the skin & flesh down, then take it to a pro to look it over (even if you went straight to see them, they'd probably run water over it for a good while before looking at it much). Aqueous cream (basically thick water) can help healing, and there are various types of sticking plaster that can help - a pro will recommend the correct type of plaster and/or cream. Having had a face full of boiling anti freeze a few years ago, I went to the doc and got water first, then the pro having a look, then cream / ointment for afters. Seemed like a good plan. Guitar playing is very probably out for a while though, however deep the damage is. Even if it's fairly mild, playing a steel string guitar, with friction from the strings, is probably going to hurt, and probably aggravate things. - Tony "murkie" <sinister_footwear@yahoo.com> wrote: [ seconding the motion ] __________________________________________________________________ Switch to Netscape Internet Service.
