Everyone gets this at least once in their life. The water’s too hot and it burns the skin. However, I always find it hard to remember the feeling and effect of it, so as I write this with a burned hand let’s go over this.
CAUSES: Really, REALLY hot water. Anything from horribly-temperatured water in high school bathrooms to the kind that’s boiled in a pot for spaghetti. Something that’s good to know is that it sometimes doesn’t register as scalding hot in your brain, and it’s not until the burn sets in that you realize that oh, I fucked up.
THE BURN AT THE START: Depending the source, it can be big, small, severe, miniscule. Overly hot tap water may just create a barely-visible patch of sensitive on the back of your hand. Spilling spaghetti water on your leg may cause the whole thing to go red, maybe even develop blisters, and in the wild scenario that the body part is submerged in scalding water, a hospital visit and extensive skin treatment is definitely in order. Sometimes at first it just feels funny, like Oh Geez What The Hell Did I Bruise My Hand Or Something. But then after a few minutes/hours it’s Oh God I Fucked Up.
THE BURN IN 2 DAYS: For small-scale burns, it takes around 2-3 days to notice anything’s off. All liquid coming in contact with the burn makes it ache, and any water that isn’t freezing hurts, and even then it still stings a little. The skin gets rough and slightly brittle in some spots. Big-time burns, however, form almost immediately, and within a few hours the skin turns red and splatter-like, and hurt a LOT. They resemble rashes, if you could pick up a can of paint that looks like a rash and throw it on someone. After a day (or two?) blisters may begin to form.
THE BURN IN A WEEK: Small-scale burns become more invisible than ever, but skin begins to flake off the burn as dry skin. Scratching it hurts, and the cold brings a strange aching sensation to the area. Large burns are similar, but on a MUCH larger, er, scale. Cold hurts, dry skin is everywhere (and it’s very nasty), it’s somewhat disfiguring with how red it is, and god forbid if anything touches it. Large burns can alternatively take a toll on mental health through making someone afraid to look at the spot because the injury has made it look so… unpleasing.
EXTRA HURTING: All I can think of is popping any blisters that form from large-scale burns. It’s incredibly painful, like a stab, and also very disgusting as well as making it harder to heal, but yet fairly easy to do.
HEALING: Small-scales generally heal on their own. It takes about three weeks to get the skin completely back to normal, maybe even more. Large-scale burns, however, may take anywhere from three weeks to a year, depending on how severe the burn is.
EXTRA: Characters probably won’t reveal smaller-scale burns since they’re invisible, and think nobody will believe that they are aching/in pain. Even if it’s covering their entire body and bringing a world of constant ache, they probably won’t say anything. Large-scale burns are obviously much more obvious and look like a few other injuries/sicknesses- as harmless as poison ivy and as deadly as a number of sicknesses caused by ticks- so a burn could be misdiagnosed, but caretakers will certainly be in shambles trying to patch it up.
Many of you may know that I keep youtube playlists of language samples, and I thought it was about time to compile them all into one post. They contain pretty much anything where you can hear the language clearly – music, dialogues, tutorials, movie trailers, readings, etc. I’ll probably add more in the future. Hope someone finds them useful!
