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.
Hi, I burned my hand while putting something in the oven. At first it was just a dark line and it started to peel and I impulsively took all the peeling skin off. I had a band aid on it and put this triple anti biotic thing on it for a bit. I started to develop bumps which I now know are blisters. It seems to be getting better but I m not too sure, there are also little bumps or maybe theyre blisters, next to my burn and I just wanna know if that s normal or not or should I go to a doctor?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Please remove bandage first of all that can worsen it and start applying silver Sulfadiazine locally with Zelonet over that burn area. If it looks infected start oral antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
