Burned Foot With Boiling Water. Now Swollen, Red And Hurts. Remedy
I burned my foot with boiling water 2.5 years ago. The skin came off with my sock. Most of it healed well. One small part became lumpy. It was fine until about a week ago when it started to itch. It kept getting worse. Today I put a bandage on it to keep from scratching and shoe irritation. Now it is swollen and red and hurts.
