So, this is what it looks like when you give yourself a partial depth third-degree burn to the neck, whilst welding.

This has been two weeks of healing, using a special one-way membrane dressing to aid healing. For the first week Harrogate hospital weren’t sure if it would heal and if I needed to go to wakefield for skin grafts.

As it stands, it’s going to fully heal and will be red for a while. There was a chance I’d then need a graft for cosmetic reasons, but right now I don’t think I will.
