A member asked:
Supposing you had a burn injury and your skin came off, would it heal by itself or do you need to go to the doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That depends: If you had a small blister - the skin would likely repair itself. However if burn is thick or covers a significant area then medical attention may be needed. Seek medical help for signs of infection.
