2 boiling water burns, 5 days ago,above knee,size of index with thumb,blisters can i use tegaderm &vaseline gauze and swim safely in pool and sea?

Do not recommend : That. First off any burn would burn more in salt....SSD cream is very good for burns. Burn wounds can be dangerous. Must keep a close eye for infection. Tetanus history should be evaluated as well.
