This morning I was seen at the Chelsea and Westminster hospital burns unit that accepts referrals from all over London, ie it is the only NHS burns unit in London! And yep the consultant burns specialist confirmed I have a full thickness periareolar laser burn. It was debrided, ie the yellow eschars were excised, the yellow discharge swabbed, the burn dressed and I have been booked for surgery on Thursday under local. I am stressed as I am terrified about more surgery and risk to the nipple areola complex blood supply but the consultant said wound cleaning and closure would speed up recovery else I would face months for the open burn wound to heal and a much bigger periareolar scar! Pray for me!

You're going to be fine. Keeping my fingers crossed.
