i'm sorry you're going through this. burns can be so painful! first i want to suggest you stop using hydrogen peroxide on your burn area. it won't help and it could actually keep the wound from healing in. all you need to do to clean the burn is use cool water and plain soap. gently pat dry. then apply an antibiotic ointment. your choice of neosporin is great! you can keep the burn covered if you'd like. please do not self-medicate with oral antibiotics. these medications should be taken only as directed by your health care provider for the specific infection they were prescribed for. an oral antibiotic may not even be necessary for a burn. you didn't say how long ago you sustained this burn but you certainly could make an appointment with your primary care provider to take a look at it. he or she will be able to better assess the wound and advise you how to care for it. i hope you feel better soon!
i burned my wrist with vapor and the area peeled off. it hurts badly it's swollen and red. should i see a doctor? . i have already started treating it with over the counter neosporin and penicillin. of course i have also been cleaning it with hydrogen peroxide and disinfecting the area. i am still worried about how it looks though.
