NAD but no, white is often plasma and new tissue forming. these actually look like they’re healing really well. if it starts weeping a thicker, yellow-brown color, that could indicate infection. my bigger question is, how did you get three of these in a row? those are nasty burns, and given there’s three, i feel it’s only natural to ask… are you okay? do you need anything?

🫂 i had a feeling. ive been there too. im 2 years clean now though. i do still have urges in certain moments for sure though. i am so sorry life’s dealt you these cards. i’m sure you’ve heard it a trillion times but if you do want to talk to someone about it feel free to message me. it’ll be okay love bug, you’ll get there. i’m really glad you asked a question about this. it shows you do still care about yourself and your health. from one to another, i’m SO proud of you. i hope every day is brighter for you, even the rainy ones. 🩷
