Hello doctor,
I felt a shock in bed and then a deep penetrating burn. My local doctor said they were a burn, but I need expert advice also. Is this something you can assist me with? I am attaching my pictures also.
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I went through your query and understood your concern.
I went through the images (the attachments removed to protect the patient's identity).
I shall assist you to the best of my capacity and ability.
From the pictures attached, it looks very unlikely to be a burn mark. When did this incident take place?
Please update with the answer.
Thanks and regards.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Thanks for your reply.
This happened in the evening. I put perfume on my neck and was in bed on my side but had not fallen asleep yet. It felt like an intense shock, then immediately like a burn that penetrated layers of skin. I believe it was a stun gun that ignited a spark because of the perfume present on my skin. It was very painful. I have included a photo that I think shows the circular burn pattern. In addition, it also shows the line where the stun is across the middle of the burn. This is a characteristic burn pattern of a stun gun. I did not have any electric or electronic items in bed with me.
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I have a few more questions.
1. What was the type of perfume?
2. Have you been using it frequently or for first-time use?
3. Did you get the perfume laboratory test after the series of episodes listed above?
Kindly update us with the answers.
Thanks and regards.
