Advice on taking care of a burn?
Short of it is, I received a burn from a lazy dumbass wielding a blowtorch on my shoulder. It’s been a couple weeks, and I know burns of this severity take their sweet time healing, but something is going on that I’m not accustomed to with previous burn injuries (some of which are of comparable size and/or degree).
The burned area is developing a lot of puss under the scab forcing me to drain it or sometimes just outright rip off the scab and clean out the burn with antiseptic and put on liberal coatings of neosporin or anti burn cream (which ever of the two happens to be closer or I find first). Now the area around the burn doesn’t show really any sign of infection (no red ring around the burn, no swelling, etc.) except the pus build up. Any idea on how to take care of this?
