Missing info: House cat or wild, young or old, facts matter.Wild cats have some rabies risk, vaccinated house cats would not. Young cats have risk of cat scratch disease, old not so much. With so little info I can just suggest you keep the area clean, covered with neosporin & see what happens.

I have a small burn on my hand that's reached the itchy, flaky stage. What's the best way for me to speed up healing? I've been keeping it covered and using Neosporin, but it's made the skin very soft/spongy.
