My leg got burnt with hot water 6 days back, injury is on half leg, little bit skin got removed with some swollen areas. All the water got removed from injury place took amoxy calve antibiotic for 3 days and using Burn heal ointment. The ointment is making layers over where skin got removed. Is it fine and how long will it take to recover.

yes it is fine, it will get automatically removed once new skin starts covering injured area. Healing will depend on depth of wound and the area burnt.

If the raw surface denuded by removal of scalded skin is pink and not discharging any pus like fluid then it will heal within next 3 to 4 days.
