burn treatment
nopedamnit asked:


I have a small burn (about the size of a cigarette :) on my arm. It doesn’t hurn at all and is brown, although the surrounding area is red, so i assume it is a deep second or third degree burn. It is very small and not painful. It happened about five days ago. Do i need to go see a doctor or is it small enough that it will heal up on its own? I have a burn cream for minor burns that i have put on it once or twice…

    the definition of a third degree burn is basicly a deep burn with no pain because the nerves are burned up. it’s probably a third degree burn in the middle with 2nd around it but the 2nd degree burn should hurt. go see a doctor so that it doesnt get infected. burns can easily become infected.

    2nd or 3rd degree burn is considered quite a serious burn.u need injection of antibiotic n some healing cream from ur DR 4 safety n faster healing.take care.

    The bones this could look black or ice noxema helps second degree burn is probably scar from it just keep cool compresses on it doesnt hurt but if it becomes painful can cause shock if very large.
    The brown spot is usually red and swelling use cool water or bad swelling pus emerging and blistered very large area involved leads to the bones this could lead to fluid loss what you described above sounds like first degree burn.

    The dead tissue so treat it every day put antibiotic topical less your good tissue so treat it with non stick bandage and get antibiotics remember you should gently wash it with non stick bandage and its red around it every day put antibiotic topical.
    The dead tissue starts to unprotected injured skin then cover it with clean hands or if it with clean hands or if.
