A member asked:
I have a 2 week old burn and i think it is 2nd degree burn and its getting at the itching stage is it ok to swim?

Maybe?: A second degree burn would have blistering, but still have tenderness. If the skin is intact and there is no discharge from the skin, you should be okay, especially in a well-maintained pool. I would be cautious in open water (like a lake, ocean, or stream).
