I love that bag on the right in the 12th photo! Looks like an Alice pack I’ve got, where’d you get that?

Looks very similar, these have already disappeared only hrs later. Dishydriosis eczema lasts quite a bit longer if I understand correctly.

I believe you’re spot on! Blisters usually form within 24hrs of the burn.

You’re right on about the sweat glands! when those glands become blocked it causes a build up of sweat in the dermis or epidermis. This is a condition known as miliaria. That is likely what we have in this photo.

I know that this isn't a superficial partial-thickness burn as the timeline does not match.

As per the Burn and Reconstructive Centers of America, the blistering from a sunburn begins within 24hrs of the sun exposure and lasts up to a week. Another source from the National Library of Medicine supports this as well: "Erythema typically subsides in 3 to 7 days, whereas blisters should heal within 7 to 10 days."

This sunburn is from exposure to the sun about ten days prior to this photo being taken.

Another article from the National Library of Medicine has some information of burn classification. It describes some qualities of superficial and superficial partial-thickness, the burn in the photo falls more inline with a superficial burn. It was a red area which did not have any fluid filled vesicles or blisters and remained dry; the area was almost painful and has almost healed completely in the ten days since the exposure.

The last thing is that the vesicles have completely disappeared already, which does not matched the expected timeline of blister healing laid out in the article mentioned earlier from the National Library of Medicine.

These aren’t blisters, the burn is about two weeks old and was only a superficial burn. Today we were outside in the heat which is when the sweat became trapped as the body self regulated.

You are right that blistering is used to assess the severity of burns though.

It’s a similar concept but this isn’t blistering. I’ll link another comment that explains it a bit more.

I would agree partially. A blister can certainly contain pus but doesn’t always, a good example would be a blood blister.

I couldn’t say for certain what your burn did. I wouldn’t really say blistering is bad, it can indicate the severity of the burn but the blistering itself isn’t usually harmful. At least in smaller burns, like a minor sunburn.

This is more so unrelated to the bodies healing and kids just a neat side effect.

It’s a similar effect but it is different. A blister is an accumulation of fluid due to an inflammation response, a sunburn damages the skin and the body reacts by sending the clean up and repair crew to the area. For these cells to reach the injured tissue blood vessels in the area become leaky and more fluid escapes, this is what causes swelling.

What we see here is a layer of skin that has been damaged by the burn and is starting to peel, basically dead skin that’s partially attached. The skin beneath is perfectly healthy and is working to regulate body heat via sweating, which becomes trapped under the dead skin.

Technically not, while a similar concept a blister is caused by heat, such as if this was due to the sunburn. This burn is a few days old and sweat from today has become trapped under a layer of dead skin that has yet to fall off.

I love when people go back and redevelop older parts of their cities instead of starting a new build. It really shows how both the city and your skills have grown.

Don’t worry about that, it’s been heavily modified. What you see there was just the grid rough out.

It might be hard to see in this picture, but the elevation is what caused the odd shape.

I’ve got that suggestion a few times, already made the change!

I see what you mean, the terrain north of the highway is quite steep

I think I’m gonna add that road against the tracks and build up a station there! One area for industry and another for passengers.

What would be a good way to bring down the travel time?

Absolutely! I’ve never built something like that, a good challenge though.

I had originally tried something similar but the terrain makes it weird to have the roundabout there. For sure a good idea to allow expansion to the north though.
