Wound: If I had to guess, probably a Wound Care center; especially if you've been seen/triaged in the ER. However, deeper/more serious burns (third degree or higher) are best evaluated at a Burn Center.

Bacon burn: F unknown age and medical Hx notes: My burn is 6 x8 on forearm from bacon grease should I go to wound or burn center? ANS: Depends on how deep the burn is? Did it blister? I would just put cold compresses on it and see how it goes. Need picture so do video consult so I can look at it.

Burn: Depends on the depth and location; whether other structures were involved or if the burn is circumferential. The ER should be able to advise your best long term care. The size does not indicate a burn Center. All the best.

Yes: A lot depends on how severe the burn is. You are probably safer to go get checked
