Burned a small area of arm pretty badly, might be slightly infected. no money for dr, what otc stuff can i use for it. and how do i care for the burn?

Burn: Wash the burn gently with warm soap and water. Apply aloe mixed with an antibiotic ointment and keep the burn covered. Repeat the procedure two three times a day.If the burn looks more infected find the money and see a doctor before you land up in the hospital.
