Thanks moomies and A*O!
Before going to bed I put Solvarome on my legs (it's a mixture of essential oils that's been used "for ever" in my family to cure wounds), then early this morning the burning resumed and this time I put aloe vera gel. The smallest cuts have almost disappeared now, the other ones are still red and I guess I'll develop the most sexy little crusts in a day or two. I'll have to be very careful when I got out though
