Should The Hand Burn With Blisters Be Left Uncovered Now?
My daughter burned her hand a week ago. We have kept it wrapped and now that the blisters have absorbed back into her skin, her skin is peeling and the pink new skin is exposed. Do I just need to put antibiotic ointment on it and leave uncovered or do I continue to wrap it up. It is the entire top of her hand and 2 fingers.
