How Long Does A Superficial Oil Burn Take To Heal?
how long does it take for a superficial oil burn to heal fully? I was cooking bacon about 2-3 weeks ago and oil/grease splashed out onto my ring finger me being who I am I kept draining the water/liquid out of the burn whenever I saw it was full just last week the skin on the spot of the burn started to peel off and still peeling today(some just came off) the area of the burn is still red and peeling but does not hurt I am almost certain its a second degree and will scar. But my concern how long is this going to take to fully heal?

HI
Well come to HCM
The burn that you have described due to oil would take couple of weeks to come around with right treatment and better care of infection taking care of wound is matter of concern here, hope this helps take care.
