How long do i keep my bandage on after 2nd degree burns?

Depends: Usually when the blisters that opened heal over you should do fine without a bandage. The bandage should be telma non stick over a prescribed burn cream or Bacitracin covered with gauze so the area can breathe and the rest of the skin stays healthy.

It varies: Even though burns are separated into 1st, 2nd , and 3rd degree categories, there are also an infinite amount of variations within each type. In other words every burn is a little different. The answer to your question is to seek treatment from a doctor qualified to treat burns and follow your doctor's recommendations.
