Burnt My leg - looking for advice (including pics of the burn)
BTW, have you tried a battery tender? I keep my battery on it from November till March, works really well.
I actually put them on a battery tender while I was home but after I burnt my leg. I didn’t think about it until then, and after burning myself, I remembered about the battery tenders 20 feet away.
Where I live, you can basically ride up until January before winter really starts to show up.

Regardless, I know it’s not infected and on its way of healing eventually which is good news to me!
Funny enough, it doesn’t really hurt. It’s just leaking fluid every now and then.

Don’t drive motorcycles
Wasn't even driving them, I was simply letting them warm up to ensure the battery didn’t t die

Yeah it was pretty bad there for a day or two, where I actually thought it might be infected. I wasn't able to get by a Walmart the first few days to buy the stuff I needed.
But funny enough, I already planned to wrap it up at night and let it air out while I was driving.
Damn Jamie! I've had combat wounds that looked better than that!
Keep a close eye on it. Keep it clean, let the bad stuff ooze, air it out as much as you can during the day, then a fresh clean wrap on it nightly. Hydrogen peroxide a few times daily if it allows, too.

What’s happening to them? I’ve had the same charger for over a year now, and my original charger still works as well.
Do you bend them a lot?

Jamie, how did this happen? Can you put anything like antibiotic cream on it and a bandage, even Vaseline? Then get into an urgent care facility.
I burned it on my motorcycle exhaust while I was home, I have two motorcycles and I started them up before coming back out on the road, I was squeezing between the bikes when I got to close, my leg touched the exhaust for literally 1 second and got a second degree burn.

The doctor said it’s a second degree burn, but it isn’t infected, and told me to keep doing what I’m doing now which is using Neoaporin and covering it up, it’ll leak for a bit since it’s a open wound and to come back in if there are any signs of infection, etc.

I do not, outside of my DOT physicals, I haven’t been to the doctor since 2014. Terrible I know, but I don’t usually go unless I really need to.
Do you have a family Dr.? If you do, send the photo to them.
I’ll go to an urgent care place, I’m 215 miles from my delivery then 14 miles from our terminal in willamar, tx where I can use a company car to go.
