When Will I Recover From 2nd Degree Burns On My Arm?
hi 2 weeks ago i was taken to hospital with 2nd degree burns to my arm from soup but i still bandage my arm every day and put flamazine on it with jelonet also. Are you able to tell me if or when i can take the bandage off and do i use aloe vera gel soon?

It will be better for you to keep the burn wound clean and continue using topical antibiotic cream till complete re epithelisation( skin cover formation) as otherwise you may have a sec infection.keeping the wound moist and protected with jelonet or vaseline tulle is also desirable. you can start alovera gel after the complete skin cover has formed
