[QUOTE="neednewtechnique, post: 73270, member: 3527"] Exactly!!! I did remove the straighteners and irons from her room and told her that she is only to use them if she specifically asks each time and she must do it under adult supervision. As I mentioned in my post, I KNOW for a fact it has been on for at least two days, so it was surely reaching the point that it could have caught ITSELF on fire and spread to the rest of the house, or even worse, her vanity table is WOOD, so she could have simply caught the table on fire and that could have spread to the rest of the house. As bad as it sounds, it is kind of a good thing that my easy child discovered it, as much as I hate her being burned, but I think that having a small blister on her fingers is small in exchange for possibly being seriously hurt in a house fire!!! The burn cream I used on her finger is Lidocaine, but the problem wiht Lidocaine is that it often times will make the pain worse for a few minutes before it makes it better. I don't know why that is, and as adults, we are prepared to handle that, but for a three year old who is trusting mommy saying that "this will make you feel better" and the second it goes on, the burning gets worse....I am sure she was not only in pain, but also confused and upset that it made it worse. And having to wait a little bit for the medication to work, I am not sure she is old enough to make the connection that although it hurt worse at first, the medicine WAS what made it better..... And as a side note, for anyone who asks, at least for now, I would SWEAR by the Lamictal!!!! We have only been using this medication for a short while, but it seems to be working wonders already and with NO SIDE EFFECTS AT ALL!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
