Yakedo!

It turns out that if you're going to burn yourself (not that it ought to be a conscious decision), doing it with wax is the best way to go. While it does initially inflict the wound, it also acts as a bandage and protects the wound from open air at the same time.

Of course, I am starting to get worried. I actually can't feel the burn area any more... Not that I want to feel that pain after it took for me hours to fall asleep last night through it.
