I have burned my hand on curling iron, it still burns, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Care for wound: Keep the wound clean and apply a topical antibiotic ointment (e.g., polysporin, (bacitracin and polymyxin) bacitracin, neosporin, triple-antibiotic ointment). Also be sure to get good nutrition so that you have all the necessary building blocks for wound healing. If the wound does not seem to heal or seems like it's getting infected, seek professional medical attention.
