Burn Infection?

Question

Hi all. I burned my finger 5 days ago on the oven making cupcakes. It started hurting more today and this is what it looks like. Does it look infected or look like it’s healing? It’s been throbbing today. Just wondering if it’s worth a trip to the doctor cuz I’m a hypochondriac.

Answer

If it is throbbing pain, it might be infected. I had a tiny cut on my toe, felt pain for a few days, ignored it and boom. Throbbing pain. Went to urgent care and they told me I had a bacterial infection. 
It’s best if you go see a doctor or a trip to urgent care so they can give you a professional opinion. I’m just basing mine on a shitty pedicure lol 🥴

Answer

It’s not called hypochondriac anymore since 2013.  It’s called illness anxiety disorder.  It looks like it’s healing.  Let it breathe￼, without the Band-Aid.
