Did you know that Emirates lounge in Kuwait was the cause of this bleeding? I was surprised that they kept the water heater off while the temperature is still cold in Kuwait. It is only after I used the bathroom in the Emirates lounge in Kuwait that my hands started bleeding.

This is an important fact that explains a lot. I'm not a doctor, but it sounds like you have undoubtedly been exposed to Dihydrogen Monoxide. But I'm sure it's nothing to be overly concerned about.

Well, according to wikipedia bleeding is "blood escaping from the circulatory system"

Now, I had an informal chat with one of my lawyer friend as your case is really unique, and asked if you could actually win with sueing EK lounge in Kuwait.
One point against you is that you had prior knowledge of your skin pre-condition. Therefore, EK may argue that you didn't take enough precaution.
The second point against you is that your skin reaction is rare, therefore not predictable, unless you can demonstrate that it is not so unusual.
One point for you is that there was no warning that the supposed "hot" water was not hot.
Second point for you is that you paid a premium fare because you wanted to benefit from superior attention, and not be treated as the lower classes ; and you didn't get the basic service like hot water in the bathroom, which is unbearably outrageous.
This said, there is a hitch : you have to demonstrate that your bleeding actually started right after washing your hands. You therefore have to find testimony from fellow passengers or lounge employees that your hands were normal before pouring water on them. A testimony before going to the bathroom is not enough, as it may have begun while you were on the throne.
As a precautionary measure, I may advise you to take a video with your smartphone whenever you wash your hands.
Finally, if blood comes out of your body by just pouring cold water on them, during Kuwait's famous super cold and super dry winter, stay away from EK lounges, or any lounge. Don't even take a shower. You are risking your life.
And sorry, my friend's not taking your case. You'll have to find yourself another lawyer.

I that it strange to ask staff to let you into use their lotion. Sounds a bit creepy to me.

This thread is pure hilarity, I do question why someone would want to get delivery of their Blue card... I didn't have a Blue card sent to me at all, first card I got was Silver which is actually useful.
It did occur to me that he's flying out on J so that's when he should have picked up his exclusively elusive Blue card

I looked up his Instagram account and it seems to all be legit (unfortunately). Here's a link: http://instagram.com/aceboy44
I don't think the OP is having any more luck keeping his threads open.....

Though sadly, we might not see him much in our little corner of FT any more, as he seems to have found a new favourite airline...

We should be encouraging younger FT members, and helping educate them, not attacking or bullying him as a pack.
This thread feels like the movie Mean Girls.

Hardly outing him when a simple google of aceboy is all it takes. Besides I really don't think he cares as he has much more important issues to deal with such as who will be the lucky recipient of his future business and critique!

To be educated you have to actually want to learn.

Well, according to wikipedia bleeding is "blood escaping from the circulatory system"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleeding
Now I have never said that my bleeding was extreme, dangerous, etc. I just said that my hands were bleeding due to dry (or cold) weather in general. Did you know that Emirates lounge in Kuwait was the cause of this bleeding? I was surprised that they kept the water heater off while the temperature is still cold in Kuwait. It is only after I used the bathroom in the Emirates lounge in Kuwait that my hands started bleeding.
Now if Emirates was the cause of this problem (I blame them for keeping the water heater off during the winter time,) then it is their responsibility to give me medical attention, especially when I'm a business class passenger am I correct? Had they turned the water heater on during winter time in their bathroom none of this was supposed to happen in the first place. They caused my hands to bleed so now they should take responsibility of their own actions to fix their mistake (who keeps the water heater off during winter time? I have never came across such mentality in my life, especially in a luxurious place like Emirates lounge
)
I'm confident that if this took place in the United States I could have sued the lounge......

Unlike you I believe there should be a minimal behaviour exhibited even by OP if he'd like some help. A spoiled brat attitude doesn't help.

I do agree. We should be encouraging younger FT members to not post on school nights and to get the right amount of sleep so that their brain develops. Otherwise stuff like this thread happens. Good point.

Continuing to go on about it will nicely encourage troll behaviour
