How Can A Skin Burn On The Thigh Be Treated?
I burned a small area of my thigh with hot soup. A blisteed skin formed and it seemed to heal. It s been a few days today I noticed blood on my clothes and broken skin. I did not see any signs of infection. I cleaned it with antiseptic and neosporin and a bandage. What should I watch for?

Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have skin burn on the thigh. I would suggest you to clean the skin with soap and cold water and apply petroleum jelly and take over the counter antihistamine like benadryl twice a day. Apply fluticasone ointment. If condition doesn't get well in 1-2 days , then consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics ( clindamycin ) or corticosteroid ointment . Keep the area dry and clean and wear loose cloths.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
