I have a gasoline burn on my tricep that has caused blisters and peeling skin. i washed the area with soap and water and rinsed with cool water. should i apply ointment?

Wouldn't hurt: Usually burns such as yours resolve on their own as long as they've been washed with soap and water. If the skin remains broken then yes, neosporin or similar cream or ointment would be necessary. Otherwise simply watch and keep it dry and clean.,
