How To Treat Burn Mark On Arm With Swelling Around It?
I have a burn (from my oven) on my arm, it s about an inch long, it s open, red around the edges and the area around it is swollen. I have put Neosporin on it, but I am wondering if I should do something else? It doesnt hurt, but it has bleed a bit and it looks nasty.
