hi,
thank you for putting up your query on HCM.
as per your history, you have got burns due to wax.
my treatment advise would be:
1. keep the area clean and hydrated.
2. if it is badly burnt, you can take a course of oral antibiotics of cephalosporin group for 5 days.
3. you can use neosporin ointment twice a day.
4. you can take pain killers like tab ibuprofen.
Atlast, dont worry much. healing will take atleast 5 days.
thank you
