Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
When do you stop applying antibiotic to a chemical burn. And this is the 10 th day healing is going well but small white hives or pimple like are appearing on the deepest areas that were burnt but healing , what are they. How do long do you keep bandaged for protection from clothing.
Usually, partial-thickness burns heal in 10 days to 2 weeks. Large burns may take 3 to 4 weeks to heal. So, you should use the antibiotic cream during this period.
