Not necessarily.: Apply Silvadin cream which is good for the burn ;both Antiseptic and soothing.

Burn: That is quite a bit of medication to control the pain, but we do not know the extent of the burn. Burns can be quite painful depending on how extensive and chemical burns can sometimes continue to do damage after they are evaluated. I suggest you be seen again to reevaluate the burn for further damage and for signs of infection.
