I have a superficial 2nd degree burn 5 dys ago can i use tegaderm and swim safely? should i put any cream under the tegaderm?thanks

Need details: Tegaderm is excellent for burns. No, you need no cream under it. How large a burn? Where? Thermal? Swim where? Pool? Sea? River? Water is good for a burn, but generally you should wait until it is healed. Shower or bath better than swim.
