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.
I got help needed to know what to put on a burn, burned my R forearm when burning pine comes in a small barrel / medal. Have a approx. 3 inch across on inside of R. forearm. I use Triple Antibiotic & before using ointment I use Cold pack on area. Is not burning at present. Do I need to apply ointment & wrap it before going to bed. Thank you. Betty
Hello and welcome to Healthcamagic. No,there is no need to wrap it. You can continue with these measures and also it would be good to apply some silicone consisting ointment to improve healing and esthetic results. I hope I have answered your query. I wish you a nice day.
