Some time ago, I accidentally scalded or burned my left ring finger slightly.
I don't even remember when this happened or how, but after a while I did notice that this one particular mark wasn't healing quite as fast as I'd thought it should.
Which is a bit weird, but as it doesn't hurt I didn't care that much. Except today I poured out some pasta, got hit with the steam, went "Ow, hot hot hot hot hot!" for a while, and then just now - guys, I think I've just been rescalding that finger every time I pour out boiling water for tea or coffee or after making hard boiled eggs or whatever. But never enough to do more than discomfort me, which is how I haven't noticed. Because, gosh, the injury is slightly newer now than it was this morning.
