Burn dressing: Julia, Healing time for a burn is about 10-14 days. In order to aid healing, you can apply a dressing. Use neomyxin/polymicin ointment, and apply a bandaid. Change twice daily. If it starts having redness that spreads, or you have fevers, see your doctor. Hope this helps!

Keep open to air: Usually keeping it open to the air and moist with antibiotic ointment can help
