i don't have the answer you are looking for... i just wanted to let you know that i am listening and caring... but it does sound as if you may need to have it looked at... burns get infected quickly... take care...lyn

Please go to a doctor and get it checked out... it doesn't sound like it's doing well and the last thing anyone needs is an infection.

Please be safe and contact some sort of medical professional ASAP.

Please go have a professional look at it. You really need to attend to burns as infection can readily set in.

it is blistering at all? if it is, that's a 3rd degree and needs medical treatment.
Otherwise you can try keeping it moist by using polysporin and New Skin (Nu Skin something like that) on it from any drugstore. It's blue and squishy. Peel off the plastic and stick it on over the polysporin and then put a bandaid over that. keep it clean and moist.

Ive had plenty of experience with burns and i know that if it blisters its second degree and doesnt require medical treatment, so ya it did blister and is second degree just like all the other ones ive had, im sure it'll be fine.

point - if it's black and charred, it is a 3rd. but you are supposed to get treatment if it blisters. were you looking for medical help - perhaps you can check WebMD.

I use to burn all the time .they all look different depends how deep you go and how long you hold it on .Some of mine years later still are fall deep in the skin .I like to tell you to stop they look good and the marks can last a life time ! But I know it hard but at least you are talking about it thats a good frist step.
