Burned two fingers holding on to a hot plate. I didn't want to break the hot plate so I held on longer than I should have probably escalating the burn to a second degree. Cried myself to bed like a little girl. Woke up, thumb has a white discoloration indicating the area where I had been burned in addition to my pointer finger, however there is no pain at all when applying pressure which is fantastic. I still am wrapping band aids around both fingers to prevent potential infection or breaks of the tenderized skin while it is healing. Also, using bandages to suppress potential irritation and escalation of the wound to becoming a boil. Note to self, never try to cook at three in the morning when you're half asleep.
