I fell asleep last night with my electric blanketI woke up this morning looked in the mirror only to see my nose had been burntHow can I reduce the darkness of the burn it's not very severe just dark.
The surface discoloration is the outside layer and that part of the skin is dead anyway and will shed on its own, the problem is how deep the burn is and how long that takes to healThe skin on your nose will start peelingWhat you have is comparable to a sunburn - a first degree burnThe skin will heal on its own over time, just put a small amount of moisturizer on it so the skin is moistWhat you have is comparable to a sunburn - a first degree burnElectric blankets should never get that hotGet a thermometer and put it under the blanket near the spot of the blanket that burned you - while you are not under the blanket and see what the temperature goes up toThe blanket might be defective and the sensor does not turn off the blanket when the temperature rises to its design cutoff valueOr the voltage to the blanket might be higher than the blanket ratingIn most of the United States a voltage of 120 VAC is the normal voltage and it can be 5% higher and still be within specificationMany appliances' nameplates specify 110 VAC, but they operate well at 120 VACIf your blanket specifies 110 VAC and you have 120 VAC then I would consider that a problem, the blanket controls aren't able to turn off the heat as quickly as the temperature rises above the cutoff point I have never been burned by an electric blanket, but years ago I was at my parents' house and having to sleep on a sofa in a cold room, I got the electric heating pad and put it on my chest under my shirt, and fell asleep when it was on high; usually I turned it down to low once it got hotI got blisters on my chestMy parents did not have adequate blankets at the time, nor did I have a sweatsuit with meDumb mistake by a young adult.

I understand these are all classics so you can never really go wrong :) I highly recommend Crime Punishment by Dostoevsky though because it is an easy read but at the same time it really makes you think-about the nature of man, about freedom, about life in generalIt made me reflect about my life and the future ahead :)
12.Anglou, Maya - I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings sounds interestingNever read it, but give it a shot38.Burgess, Anthony -Clockwork Orange is a great story (although disturbing)The main character is referenced by the name of the storyClockwork is precisefinely tuned machineOrange can refer to something being offSo A Clockwork Orange means that something is not right with something that should be fine tunedIn this case Alex’s brain54.Chaucer, Geoffrey - The Canterbury TalesA group of people exchange their own stories while travelingIt’s on my must read list68.Darwin, Charles - Origin of Species gives you a better understanding then what the church credits him forDid you know he WAS going to be a man of clothebut he knew the ramifications of his findings82.Dumas, Alexander - The Count of Monte Cristo CLASSICThere are a lot of great books in the list, but these ones really grabbed my attentionI wanted to keep it simple with a list of fiveCyberNara
You should try the Epic of GilgameshIt's weird to read because it's from a few thousand years ago or something like that.
