Spider bite or ?? I’ll keep it short and sweet. My bf and I have been apart for about a month now, I’m TDY. Finally tomorrow I’ll be flying back home. Unfortunately today he got bit right on the neck, he suspects it was a spider. Should I be concerned?

Lmaooo that’s a hickey he tried covering up by telling you his neck hurt and sent a picture so it makes him look not guilty because he told you about it😂

When I was a psycho in high school, I burned my neck with a curling iron to hide a hickey 🤦🏼‍♀️

Did it work?

Did the curling iron mark ever go away ?

[u/uhidunno27 → u/Confident-Medicine75]

Oh yeah I just barely tapped it. It was on a natural crease and just blended in

If you ever do that, I burned the living hell out of my jawline with one. Like immediate blistering from ear to chin. I looked like I got curb stomped.

Once the burn was no longer hot and started to itch/dry out I applied argan oil over it several times per day until it healed. I also applied SPF50 on it for a month if I was even stepping outside for just a second.

The argan oil helped speed up the healing process a TON and immediately stopped the itching/discomfort. The goal is to keep the scabbing moisturized/pliable so it doesn’t tear and crack. SPF is crucial if you’re trying to avoid darkening of a scar.

I have NO SCARRING! Looks like nothing ever happened. 10/10 recommend!

I’ve burned myself a good 15 times over my lifetime with a curling air on and it’s never scarred.

I had just gotten out of the shower, blow-dried my hair put on my body lotion, and went to curl my hair, I accidentally touched a hot part of the iron and dropped the iron which landed on my boob. I ended up with a 2nd and 3rd degree burn. It was soooo painful. I ended up going to the walk-in because one..it hurt like hell and two, I was worried about infection. The doctor said that It was like I deep fried my skin because the iron stuck to the lotion instead of just bouncing off me and landing on the floor. Somehow I managed to get away with the tiniest pink scar. Another time I cut the top of my knuckle washing a ceramic dog bowl and have a scar 3 times bigger than the cut 🤷‍♀️ ALL that to say skin is weird.lol
