I burnt my middle finger last week, it never blistered it just went white but now the skin has gone very leathery and it's hard to bend, what can I do to make the skin a bit softer so it's easier to bend?
(spelling in the title) soften doesn't look right but neither does soffen,

Sounds mean but we like burns that hurt it means your nerve ending were intact. Honestly I would probably get this seen in minor injuries despite it being a week late. The skin is dead and no amount of Vaseline will soften it.

Thank you for all your advice, I will use the Livy app and see a doctor that way as even though I'm feeling so much better in still feeling very light headed and dizzy to attempt to go out.

Now I know I need new glasses. Read title as How to soften a bum ( photos attached) and yes, I still looked. 🙄

@Fleurdaisy 😂

To refer to burn and not bum: vaseline is a good one as many have said. Lavender oil from experience is good.

Doctor checking it also sensible.
Wishing you well and a speedy recovery!

Hope you get to speak to someone and you’re feeling better soon.
