is New Year’s Eve and Geoff is planning on setting off fireworks. His mother warns him to be careful, but Geoff isn’t paying attention as he runs out the door. He sets off a few bottle rockets using a plastic bottle as a launch pad. Geoff loves fireworks, especially bottle rockets. In his excitement, Geoff knocks the plastic bottle over after he lights the fuse of another bottle rocket. The firework explodes on his right arm badly burning his skin.
Geoff’s skin has been burned through the entire epidermis and most of the dermis on part of his right arm. The burn is surprisingly painless, so Geoff refuses to get any medical treatment because he knows his mother will be angry with him for being so careless. The burn looks black and Geoff knows that he has to clean it. When he gets home, he hides his arm from his mother and tries to clean it with soap and water in the bathroom. The superficial parts of the dead skin come off in large pieces.
Geoff wears long sleeves to hide the wound, and the burn slowly heals. Amazingly, the burn does not become infected. Because the burned area is large, the tissue that replaces the missing skin is mostly scar tissue. Scar tissue is not made of the original tissue type, but instead is dense irregular connective tissue. Only a small margin on the edges of the wound regenerates new skin cells. The new skin looks difference than his undamaged skin.
