Treat like a burn: Branding is a localized burn and should be treated as such. It needs to be cleaned regularly and an antibiotic applied until healed. An antibiotic from the drug store like Neosporin or Bacitracin needs to be applied 4 times a day. You can get one (Silvadene, if you are not allergic to Sulfa) that needs to be applied only twice a day. If the area is large, it could require a skin graft. See an MD.
