if you have a red line running from the burn on your hand past your wrist it could already be infected and i would advise that you see a health care provider as soon as possible. you should not use epsom salts for a burn or ice. you can submerge the area in cool water. i would also not advise putting any antibiotic ointments or dressings until a health care provider has evaluated it.
i have a burn on my hand and a slight red line that goes past my wrist. is antibiotic salve enough to prevent infection?
