Okay, so I have a character in my wip who is blind with burn scars on her face.
Basically, when she still had her vision, her drunken father threw some hot oil from a pan over her face. The way I have it is that he slapped her first, so she raised her hand to her mouth, and then the oil was thrown. This resulted in most her face and the back of her hand being scarred, leaving her chin and lip area. I know that the oil would have run down her face and neck. The oil also got in her eyes, blinding her.
I've had a few internet searches, but I thought I'd best make a thread so I get this 100% right.
What I want is any more information on:
Hot oil burns - like, what would they look like, how would they feel to touch, how much would they deform the skin, etc?
Being blinded by hot oil
The eyes - Would they stay or be taken out? What would they look like if they stayed? Like, would they be white, would the skin have formed over them or something?
Would she be completely blinded, or would she see lights and shadows and such?
Thanks
