A member asked:
Should i put a bandaid on a second degree burn after putting ointment? if yes, which kind of bandaid is okay?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A second degree burn (meaning skin only reddened, no blister or ulcer) needs no ointment, and probably doesn't need a bandaid either. However, feel free to use an anesthetic ointment if it reduces pain, or if a bandage will reduce pain by touching or bumping the site. Either way, the kind of bandage doesn't matter at all.
