Here...Liking the topic of injury to skin...lol. Here's your explanation: We have a Z shaped basement membrane that attaches the epidermis to the dermis to provide protection and stability. As we age, that mantle flattens out causing the two layers of skin to move independent of one another, hence the propensity for very easy skin tears with very little force or friction. <br /><br />I remember a burn injury to fingers as well from touching a stove eye I thought was cool. No pain like it... ouch.

Not as badly as you did, but it surely does sting. <br /><br />I'd never thought about people's skin getting thinner as they age, although now that I think of it, there's a vague memory of someone with almost translucent skin. My grandmother? It was a long time ago. My mom is 90 but her skin isn't that thin yet. Her pain sensors, however, are on high alert....Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14826899900356202742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-37652003359591374192016-09-18T22:43:15.912-04:002016-09-18T22:43:15.912-04:00I have had two kitchen burns.

The second was in retirement when I was pureeing hot soup in the blender, and it came out the top. Once again, the hospital was nearby.<br /><br />It seems like you were brae and didn't seek treatment. You were also quite stoic the second time. (And the first too probably.)Anvilcloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974744042579564912noreply@blogger.com
