Burned my leg onexhaust pipe 2 days ago-quick contact. No pain no blister but skin is discolored.what do I do?
Question:
Answers:
Keep it covered, keep it out of the sun. If it begins to hurt put some lidocaine lotion or similar on it but really it's just a painful surface burn (like a sunburn) only a bit more painful and localized. Eventually it will discolor a bit more, then scale and flake a bit, you'll likely have some discoloration there for awhile. The pipe (I'm imagining it came from a motorcycle muffler) can be and is likely very, very hot. Overall you should be fine.
Other Answers:
Leave it alone! The discoloration will eventually go away. When it does and if you still have discoloration or a scar, use a scar pad or cream.it will go away eventually. Did the SAME thing on BOTH legs when I was 16. Had scars until I used the silicone scar pads and they've disappeared.even after 20 years. Good luck and WEAR PANTS.
dont worry nothing in it.dont cover it.take plenty of fluids.it will disappear in two weeks.
