Suggest Treatment For The Sore Blisters On The Thigh Due To Burning

I spilled hot soup on my thigh and it is burned bad, blisters broke, red, a little sore. I have been keeping it covered with non stick gauze and a triple anit biotic. I have no insurance and my family is telling me it could be very serious and to watch for infection. I don't know what to do it does not really hurt it just looks ugly. The burn is about the size of a large hand.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Skin is the natural barrier to keep the infection and bacteria away and in any case if skin integrity is broken it may leads to entrance of bacteria causing skin infection. I would suggest you to keep the wound open and not to cover it moreover apply silver sulfadiazine cream over it twice daily. Keep the wound clean and it will enhance the healing, if you have taken oral antibiotics for 3-5 days then there is no need for further antibiotics.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
