What To Do For Hot Oil Burn In The Hand And Wrist?
Hi, 2 and a half weeks back I got a burn on the upper surface of my hand and wrist (dorsal surface) due to hot oil. Its about 2 inches diameter and its healing now. But the surface is very soft and pink in colour. I guess the skin has tightened and which is why I am not able to bend my finger. Please suggest me what am i supposed to do and will the scar remain?

hello
please apply silverhexidine ointment twice daily.
Don't remove the blister don't rupture them.
You can apply normal saline compress to relieve blisters.
If there is pain you can take pain killer.
Once the lesions heal you can apply anti scar cream like vanilla.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
