  Ouch what did you do? You shouldn't put any ointment on it for awhile because it holds the heat in. I think you'll probably be fine, but if I was you I would get it checked out just in case. Maybe they can dress it for you or something to make it more comfortable.

  Wow! So sorry to see this. I agree with pp to avoid ointment. If you're worried, I would call the doctor. Otherwise, if the pain had stopped, you're probably okay. Keep your dressing clean.

  Personally I would at least call the doctor, but really I would probably go to an urgent care. That looks pretty serious!

  Ow!! I would definitely get it checked out, just to be on the safe side. Hope you're feeling okay otherwise!

  I say it doesn't hurt to get checked out. It looks like a nasty burn, and if it doesn't hurt it could be a worse burn than you think it is.
  
  Did it have a blister? From the picture it looks like it might have and was popped? Either way, keep it clean!!

  If it blistered, it would be a 2nd degree burn. If it is larger than 3 inches, then it is considered a major burn and needs assessment.

  Oh my lady, how did you do that.  I would say go get it checked out to avoid infection.

  Thanks for the input everyone. I burned it on the skillet cooking breakfast this morning.. And had a delayed reaction.. Which probably made it worse than what it would've been. I'm at the ER now.. Apparently it's a partial thickness 2nd degree burn. Needless to say.. I'm not cooking anymore til Baby Espree is out of here. I'm too clumsy w/ the belly.
  @LoHerrim We're 36+3.. 3cm and 100% effaced as of yesterday so doc said could be any day now. I'm happy we made it this far.

  So glad you went in! Any kind if inflammatory injury in that region would make me nervous and seek professional assessment. Happy you were well cared for @CreEspree !

  Holy crap, I'm glad you got that checked out.  That looked really painful!

  I agree with @sparklenshine_89 they do get in the way of everything!

  Oh goodness, so sorry babe! I burned my belly on the coil burner of our stove 9 yrs ago when I was KU with DD#1 while cooking Thanksgiving dinner. It still makes me cringe to think about it! Glad you aren't in pain, but it's def good you got it checked out. Hope it has a few days to heal before Dday
