Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Peeled Skin From Hot Water Burn
My wife suffered from hot water burn last saturday. She immediately applied cool water for 5 mins followed by applying aleo vera and then toothpaste. Next day she applied cold water again followed by burnol ointment. She applied the ointment with aleovera 2-3 times a day. Now the swollen is reduced and upper layer skin is peeling. But surrounded area is dark whereas the peeled skin area is red. It is paining a bit on touching. Will the burn mark go ? How many days to heal it? Is burnol the correct ointment? If not pls advice what needs to be done
