West Monroe isn't bad (Better than Venice), and Folsom is Folsom. Good to hear you're making your ma happy.

Pain won't be an issue. Ideally, you want the brand hot enough (or in the case of cryocautery, cold enough) that it will kill the nerves on contact. Care is the same for any serrious burn: sterile moisture, dry dressings and limiting stretch of the area.

The biggest concern is how you keloid- and keloiding is the goal here. Some people recess, some people raise (as seen in this pic of an electrocautery brand) and some people hardly scar at all.

If you are worried about not forming a recessed/raised keloid, you might have to do unpleasant things regularly to irratate it enough to keloid. Things like taking vinnegar and a toothbrush to it daily.
