I'm getting myself in an anxious state over a tiny burn on my hand, please talk some sense into me and tell me what to do! I think my anxiety is from the fact I'm 31 weeks pregnant in what has been a really stressful pregnancy so far, I'm now having scans twice a week now and will be lucky to get to 24 weeks. I just feel completely overwhelmed and unable to think straight.
A couple of days ago I had an accident with the iron and ended up with a small burn on my finger. I didn't think much of it as it seemed really minor. The skin went a bit pale and fragile. Yesterday evening I was cooking and managed to push some of the skin off creating a minor cut. I put a plaster on it. After my shower I wanted to change the plaster but when I took it off all the skin came off which really hurt! I washed it with soap, dried it and put another plaster on. It's started to feel a bit hot today, although as you can see it looks fine, and I'm panicking its going to get infected over the weekend when the gp is shut. I've also had some really nasty skin infections from insect bites in my hand before, including one where I ended up needing it antibiotics in A&E as it was tracking all the way toy shoulder. Help!
