They have been burning my hands since June 2017 almost every day. Also my arms, though they stopped doing the arms in 2018. The burns were bright red and sore from hands to elbows almost all over. I saw a private doc last year and got treatment and advice and a prescription for Fusidic Acid burn cream, all of which should have been free on NHS, but no way would I go to my own doc with injuries,
They let my hands heal up from June last year, but not my right thumb, which they continued to burn daily until the top layer of skin had gone, except a bit at the top with half my thumb print on it. The whole thumb is red and raw, with oozing at times, and the burning is v painful on all sides. I put dressings on, changing them every day and night, and a thumb stall (plastic cover), with mylar and my usual shielding for nights. Each time it begins to heal, they burn it again.They recently extended the burn to my hand below the joint with the thumb, which is impossible to shield by day. The nail is growing out cracked and yellow with black bruises. There is no cuticle. A new whole thumb print has begun to appear, thank God.
Considering that they also manipulate my hands, arms and fingers every day, it is very difficult to do everyday things like typing or picking up a cup, with my thumb held straight in the plastic/dressings all day and night. I drop things or knock them over.
They continue also with the usual small burns to other parts of my body, but they just leave marks or itching, no real problem.
