I burnt my arm on the iron this morninghttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic408379-5-1.aspxI burned my arm with a hot baking sheet while trying to make french fries for lunch one day... </P><P>Thankfully my wedding is still over two months away but I scar easily and I know it's going to leave a nasty reminder of my clumsiness. :P So I've been slathering polysporin on it at least 3 times a day. Now it's been about 5 days since and it still looks gross so worse comes to worse I'll just have to cover it up with makeup if it hasn't faded enough by the wedding. *sigh*Sun, 22 Jun 2008 09:29:12 GMTmindybRE: AHHH!

I bumped into it TWICE in one night. Anyways, I slathered on polysporin all day long and even though it was burned really bad and the polysporin made the scar really light after a week.Sat, 21 Jun 2008 22:24:19 GMTmsamandaRE: AHHH!

If you just burnt your arm, I doubt it will be all healed by your wedding in a week and a half...sorry. Use lots of Aloe and don't cover it. If it is pretty much healed by your wedding day (done scabbing) you could ask your make up artist (if you have one) if she could cover it for you. I had a strange tan line on my shoulder and my make up artist covered it with bronzer and you couldn't even tell. Just an idea...<BR><BR>A similar thing happened to me, I got a floor burn on my elbow at my stagette and I had a strange scar on my elbow on my wedding day. No one notices that kind of stuff... :) so don't stress yourself out about it.[/quote]</P><P>What section of Walmart did you find it in?

I burnt my arm with a cookie sheet in a very obvious place 2 weeks ago. It's healed now and I have a little more time (6 weeks until the wedding) so I've been putting some scar ointment on it. I'll probably have to have it covered by the makeup artist, though. Maybe that's the best solution for you?Sat, 21 Jun 2008 09:40:15 GMTanchor31RE: AHHH! I burnt my arm on the iron this morninghttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic408379-5-1.aspxNo one will notice it as much as you, that's a given. Hopefully it will heal quite a bit, and the makeup artist can touch it up lightly.Tue, 17 Jun 2008 20:52:58 GMTPuddyTatRE: AHHH!
