Mysterious splinters, pulled out but skin is red and burns to touch.
I woke up this morning, and noticed that the skin in one spot of my leg was sore to the touch. When I pulled up the pajama leg, I saw what looked like 3 tiny splinters, which I pulled out and threw away, thinking that would be the end of it.
But the area was still sore to the touch. VERY SORE!! The warm bath water made it hurt even more!!
I tried using a cortisone ointment-- then I tried triple antibiotic ointment with a bandage, and both seemed to help, but it still has not gone away!
Twelve hours later, I can see three red spots and it is still very sore! I haven't been out in the woods, and we live in a state where there are no scorpions. It's winter time and there aren't even any sticker bushes nearby, the bugs outside are all dead & we don't have bugs in our house.
