A member asked:

I scalded my leg with very hot (near boiling) water about a week ago. what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Scalding burns: Do u have blisters over the burna rea? If so u should see a doctor. If not u can get silvadene (silver sulfadiazine) ointment to put over the area of burn. If it is infected u should see a doc asap too. Dont wear any tight or rough clothing over it. Loose bandage is okay if it is just red and sore and not infected. Bacitracin application also helps.
