How can i treat a second degree burn?

Seek medical care: Second degree or partial thickness burns will often heal without surgery. The likelihood is affected by your medical condition, age, and factors such as smoking history. These burns can be treated in a number of different ways including topical salves and biologic or other barrier dressings. One of the more common burn creams is silvadene, (silver sulfadiazine) but it is not the only option.

Skin antimicrobials: Second-degree burns will heal on their own, given good wound care and good nutrition. Burns on the face should be gooped up with antibiotic ointment several times a day; no dressings are necessary. Burn wounds elsewhere can have antibiotic ointment or silver sulfadiazine applied and then dressed with dressing changes daily in conjunction with a bath/shower.
