Burn Wound healing: Studies consistently show that burns kept moist heal more quickly. This means that keeping a light coating of ointment, or a dressing that prevents drying like vaseline impregnated gauze or a clear plastic dressing like tegaderm will always heal that burn quicker! if you don't see steady improvement over 1-2 days, seek advice from a wound specialist.
