I had a nasty reaction to some Deep Heat at the beginning of last week. It basically burnt my palm and palm side of fingers. Had to have it bandaged up for a few days. I was told to keep it dry and managed this which was no mean feat with a 15month old. Then it got worse and 'wet' again so I had to go and see the nurse and get it bandaged again. They told me off and said it got bad again because I used my hand too much. How the hell can you use your hand 'too much'.
