Removed burnt skin by mistake and now i have raw skin on my arm. what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Skin burn: You need to make sure the area is gently cleaned with soap/water daily then apply an antibiotic ointment on the entire burned area then a gauze wrap. The skin is a barrier to bacteria so the major risk with burns is infection & scarring. It's best to be evaluated by your doctor as soon as you can to determine the depth of the burn and appropriate treatment.
