By the time I went to the doctor (days later) he said I probably should have had a skin graft. It never did hurt except for some itching way deep underneath that you couldn't have scratched cause you could never reach it. It took months to heal and the area still feels no pain (15 years later). Doesn't grow hair, either, but the scar is a lot less visible than it used to be.
Yep, that's your 3rd degree burn there. That's what happened to me with the iron. But it hurt like a mofo.
