In reply to uncontrollable: I suffered severe rope burn on my left hand about 18 months ago. I was out of action for about three months. During that three month period I had several trips to the East Grinsted burns unit, as the burn was too serious for my GP to deal with. Basically, as the tissue was healing, it was contracting, and my fingers were beginning the bend, the result being my hand resembling a claw. After lots of physio, pain killers, and time, the wound healed.
My advise is to seek medical help if you think it is serious enough. Only you can make that call.
On a side note, the staff at East Grinsted burns unit were fantastic, I can't speak highly enough of them.
