I've been thinking (yes it shocked me too!) if a persons body was encased in something permanently, (say a plastercast for arguments sake)- what would happen to the skin?

I'm asking because my arm looking downright 'orrible after only 8 weeks, scaly and a pale yucky colour.

Would your skin flake off completely if it was no longer exposed? How long would it take?

Did you ever see ''The Mummy''?

BOO congrats on getting the cast off, but YUK what a thought having an all over cast on for a day never mind weeks eh, you'd shrink lol

[B00]

Nope- but if you're talking Egyptian mummy type things, aren't they dead when they bandage 'em?

[B00]

Hehe ta Weeal, I know its a kind of macabre question, but it's how ya mind works sometimes isn't it?

No?

sorry B00 I missed this thread as i was distracted, what is occurring here, do you require medical assistance or just a tube of vaseline?

hey B00. You're arm just needs some vitamin D's. Try to keep it uncovered where possible.
