After what happened the last time we asked for directions, can you blame us for being reluctant to do it again?

I am not trying to summerize the whole class, just a few points.
It is possible he left the strikes on too long. She said each stike is for a TENTH of a second. She did a demo, too... it really was.
Did he make the strike plates too large? They need to be short ... 2 to 3 inches is getting on towards WAY to big... with a little space between each one, becuase the scars swell and grow. If they are too big or don't have the space to grow (when properly spaced, there will be no space in the finished scar, this is just grow room) - they will swell and cut off circulation to the inner areas, wich is bad.
She also said that her best results come with having people go jump in a nice, cool, clorinated swimming pool immedeatly after the branding.
please note, when properly done, the risk of infection is not nearly as high as for other burns (which does not mean there is not a risk of other side effects), because the burn is so fast and so HOT that is cautherizes itself. There should be no blood, if it were done right.
Yes, at this 'after the fact' point, I am with the 'go to the doc' crowd. I am sorry that your brand worked out poorly, you may be left with a 'blob' of scar tissue. In that case, you can consider having it removed with a laser. Good luck.

Any advice on treating the area would be appreciated.

Added note, I'm allergic to most pain meds, plasters etc.

Using sterile dressings at mo.

Yes i know this isnt meant to be comfortable. But look on His face, tells me this isnt looking as it should be, and walking shouldnt make me cringe.


It *sounds* like the branding didn't go right - when I was branded the week right after the branding was the point at which it was its tightest (in terms of design) and the most beautiful (we planned for blotching so its still very pretty, but still it looked the best right after).

If its the case the the design doesn't look right and your body is telling you that something's wrong (I didn't have problems with walking, for instance but I'm not clear where your brand was) then you should probably start treating it like a wound that you want to heal completely, as opposed to a body modification where you want the scar to stay. If you are really concerned, I'd consult a doctor, but basically just treat it like a burn scar you want to get rid of (so you want to focus on making sure it heals and does not scar).

It isnt infected yet.         Im just losing layers of skin everytime dressing is removed.

Normaloutside    You aint touching it. LOL     mixed messages i can live without.

Ive gone to doctors with more embarrassing stuff, (a supposed Dom inserted something that he couldnt remove)  Me laughing prob didnt help.


The loosing layers of skin happened to me (if that helps at all), specifically in the shape of the design of the brand - it was a cycle of scabbing and peeling. But I do have to echo Holly's suggestion of tefla and also some of the other ideas of going to the pharmacist and asking what they would suggest.

But this can't be the first time you've ever had a cut or a burn - think back to what you did back then and do the same thing and use the same products (since you have allergy issues). Once its healed enough I'd suggest aloe vera and cocoa butter for the scarring (depending on how it was done, ultimately you may or may not have a lot of scarring).

what i'm saying is, if he wanted to brand you, which he did, he should have thought it all the way through and if he had done it before he'd know about the after care issues.  i don't think it would be out of the ordinary to ask if you were allergic to any types of antibiotic creams or whatever else might be used.  i'm not trying to bash anyone, i just think that sometimes people get careless with really serious issues.


And being that she is the one with the list of allergies, perhaps she herself should have thought it through and and if she had he'd have known about aftercare issues.  I can't imagine the brand was a last minute surprise.

I'm allergic to codeine and several antibiotics...I ALWAYS remember to tell the Dr which ones...it's MY responsibility.  While the Dr should ask, I don't leave it up to him...I am responsible for my own life and well being.

RUN... don't walk... RUN to the ER... trust me, nurses and docs in the ER have seen things you'll never think of doing. But you need medical attention. An infection will be far worse than the red face when you describe why you're making the visit.
Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

Take internal (drank) and external (apply to burn).]

I have used this for 2nd and 3rd degree burns many times.

Also spend several hours a day with your burn un-bandaged and exposed Lay with the ass up in the air and let the burn have no rubbing or pressure on it.

Sorry Christine.          But would you have asked a partner if a normal elastoplast was a problem.  He didnt.

Because of my allergies to everyday items, i sometimes forget to mention them. hell it takes a novel.   

I do tell people about the reactions to important stuff like morphine, ibuprofen.



i'm going through this RIGHT now  TheEngineer and i are about 5 weeks into living in the same place.  and we're working on the fucking damned journal about what my health issues are (can you tell i hate this idea?) and allergies were mentioned last night.  out came the book again, and i wrote it all down.

took nearly a whole page in the journal.  boo!

i agree with the others who have posted, though...you *should* see a physician, because the allergies you have put you in a special group as far as being able to treat the burn.  a physician who is familiar with your medical history is going to be able to treat you without guesswork....and yes, you should probably write down your medical issues too, so your dominant knows what he's dealing with.

kitten, spreading the agon...i mean love!  yes, spreading the love!

Thanks for the advice. Not ready for ER yet, am looking into alternate treatments.

All in all, i'll live. It isnt infected, just a mess and painful.

We live and learn. This i aint repeating.

It doesn't matter now about the logistics of him doing it.  He's done it, and now her butt hurts! A lot of guys have that ridiculous ego thing going on... the same thing that keep them from stopping to ask directions when lost, and refusing help with the grill, is prolly the same thing that prevented her master from seeking guidance when giving someone a brand.

On a side note...fucking hugs to you! Allergic to Tylenol... and morphine.... poor girl, I think I'd have gone nuts a long time ago.

I'd check out Silvadene- it's sulfa based, and if you have ever had an allergic reaction to stuff like Bactra or Septra, you should avoid it. It does work wonders for burns, they use a stronger type in burn units, and it's great. Be careful... I'm not sure if it was Silvadene, or the other stuff that they called 'The Scream Cream' ... heh...might smart a little!


Silvadene is the BOMB.... when my girls were babies and they were teething their urine would turn to acid and eat their skin on their lil butts... it sucked bad. Their pediatrician gave me a running script of Silvadene and the stuff was the SHIT!!! It cleared it up in days!!! And it would soothe the skin... So I think the other stuff is called the Scream Cream.. because my girls didn't seem to have an issue with the stuff being put on or having it on their skin. But it worked....
     So if the OP can get a hold of some if she is not allergic to it ... DO IT NOW !!!! It is the best stuff in the world for burns.... and its not expensive in the least.
     Sorry to hear about your issue...sounds like it sucks bad.... keep your chin up .... hope all gets better


Peace

Status: offline 		I would suggest that you go to a doctor too but if you are looking for alternative care I would suggest a solution of  lavender and tea tree essential oils. Both can be used neat but I have found that it is better in a solution say 2 tablespoons of distilled water with 5 drops of lavender and 5 drops of tea tree essential oils poured over the brand 4 times a day. after the the second day you should soak a sterile gauze in the solution, place that on the brand then cover it with a dry gauze and change this dressing 2 times a day. You also might use a sterile saline solution wash 0.9% saline to cleanse the wound after bathing. Don't scrub the wound but using a detergent style soap, i.e. dial, lever etc... soap up a wash cloth and squeeze out over the wound a few times then use the saline to rinse it off.

Please note: with your history of allergies I would suggest taking one drop of lavender as a test and one drop of tea tree as a test on different parts of your body and see if a rash or other allergy outbreak occurs. Though both of these oils are usually thought of as being hypoallergenic, I have found one person that is allergic to tea tree.....

Good luck.

Status: offline 		I am an Emergency Medical Professional. PLEASE LISTEN TO ME! Go to your local Emergency room or clinic. I offer NO judgements nor ANY crap comments like others. 1. You need a tetanus shot!  2. You need a EXPERT viewing the wound to dertemine if it is infected!!!! 3. You may need blood cultures to see if there is a infection that will cause SERIOUS blood infections (I am of the opinion you may not BUT IF THE DOC says you do then GET them done and you will be started on IV antibiotics) 4. ARE YOU RUNNING A TEMPETURE???? IS THE SKIN ARROUND THE AREA REDDNED, HARD, HAS STREAKS, PUSS, FOUL SMELLING OR ANY OF THESE???? The GET thee to a Doctor!!!  IF the wound is that bad then see the next part #5.
5. If you insist on going this alone then follow these instructions: A) bi-daily saline dressing changes with STERILE Normal Saline available at the pharm. B) please use regular sterile dressings NOT TELFA. You need to pull away the exudate (puss and non healing tissue) with each dressing change. What you want to see is a red/almost bloody tissue bed THAT INDICATES GOOD TISSUE. Do this for 3 days (6 times). C. If you have silvadine then do the dressing change and when the old dressing is removed ...apply the silvadine to any dark tissue and the bed of the wound/branded area. Silvadine has a anti bacterial property and a chemical base that litterly burns the wound bed (VERY VERY LIGHTLY) and that promotes healing of the wound bed and destroys the bacteria. D. After 3days then leave the wound exposed to air as much as possible. You were branded, I accept that, I would think you want that brand to heal a sign of your commitment or what ever. Following my suggestions will hopefully stop any infection AND keep the brand intact and as you want it to display. I cna not stress enough my plea to see a doc/Emergency room...I dont know you but I do care about all of us in the oh so erotic venue!!!

Well, since it happened 2 1/2 months ago, either it's not infected or her ass cheek fell off.  Now I'm intrigued, waiting for an update.
