curling iron burn.
last friday, i was curling my hairr and i burned my neck pretty bad. the curler heats up to 420 degrees, needless to say it hurt. a dime sized amount of skin peeled immediately. for the past couple days i keep recovering it with a bandaid and neosporin and i change it about 4 times a day. should i continue to cover it or should i let the air heal it now? and is there anything else i can be doing for this to heal soon?

You need to leave it uncovered part of the time. It's fine if you want to cover it with a Band-Aid while you're at school or whatever, but it needs a few hours of air every day to start healing more quickly. Keep using the Neosporin and it will go away. My friend burned herself on the neck really badly with a curling iron, and it went away pretty quick because she used Neosporin and only kept it covered part of the time.

Well, you've taken good care of it so far. When I was little, I accidently placed the underside of my wrist/elbow, which is very sensitive, on a stove top. It peeled off and I didn't do anything to "heal" it or take care of it and nothing ever happened to the wound. I would just let the air heal it :)
