How Long Do The Black Splotches On The Leg Take To Heal?
fell 5 weeks ago& skinned lower leg (dermatologist said 2nd degree burns) Used prescribed sulfadin cream. Leg looks horrible with black splotches (raised) and skin beginning to slough off in spots. How long will this go on & should I try to scrub skin off that appears to be ready to come off? Took me off cream and using aquaphor? am I doing correct things?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if is not the infection part in burn wound then it get heal very soon and may not even leave any spot, and if it is the infection then it needs to be taken great care and it may leave the spot also but later or sooner this spot will come around too and it is nothing to worry hope this information helps.
