A member asked:
I burnt my skin on the stove last week.. i cleaned it when i burnt it but now the skin is peeling off a week later. why is that?

This is normal: Your burn damaged the outermost layer of your skin and it is now peeling off, much like a bad sunburn. Don't worry, this is normal and more than likely there will be no permanent scarring from it.
