A couple days ago, my husband's dog spooked one of the girls while I was leading her in from pasture and she ran the rope through my hand and now I have a nasty rope burn. Don't know how, but the rope ran between my middle and ring finger; if that doesn't hurt like the dickens. So, I have a 3/8"x1" raw spot between my fingers plus the dry skin type burn surrounding the open section. [Yes, I know I should have been wearing gloves. Hindsight is always 20/20.]
I've done cool water, ice packs and etc to cool it off. And, I've been using Neosporing Plus with band-aids to keep it clean. I tried a homeopathic remedy (stuff in a tube) that my mother-in-law had, and it cooled for about 3 seconds then burned like crazy, so I didn't use it a second time. [i think it has aloe vera in it, which I'm beginning to think that I'm at least mildly allergic to, as anytime I use it on open wounds, no matter how minor, it burns like crazy.]
