peeling

I am peeling 
My arm, that I cooked with bio-oil,
(trying to remove scars)
Was tanned brown for a
Day
Now it is peeling: new pink skin
Under the flakes.

The same as the rest of me
Burnt
Trying to remove our scars
I am been walking around red
Hot and aching.

Now things have cooled
The burn has settled
And I am peeling

New pink growth coming out underneath.
