I accidentally dropped a piece of melting plastic on my thigh and got a small burn. The skin has turned white but there is barely any pain at all. I have washed it in cold water. What else do I do?

Hi lybrate-user From your description, you seem to be having a deep burn. I would advise you to apply Burnosaf ointment twice daily on your burn area, after cleaning it with normal saline, and do a small dressing over it. If you want to, you can share the pic of the burn privately. Time for healing can be commented only after seeing the picture.

Apply Fucidin cream or Chitomesh SF cream 3 times daily. Keep the area away from dust and dirty water. Stay in a cooler hygienic environment.
