an hour of cold compress hasn't made a difference. I think I'll walk to the drug store and see if they have that Spenco shit.

Ouch.

Not to mention the waxy, greasy, acid flux was heat sealed into my skin.
Yikes Foot! That sounds like you should have it checked out by a doc.
Good thing that the torch didn't catch the entire place on fire! Hope the pain has begun to subside by now. (Pssst! I gpt a few aspirin if you want. )
