hello,
feel really bad for you. Second degree burn takes time to recover and some time it can be 3 weeks to a month. You are doing right thing y applying antiseptic cream over it but i would also advice you to take oral antibiotics. Take lot of water and B complex. Take rich protein diet too. If your only concern is you can not wear any thing ,there is biological dressings are available. these dressing can allow your wound to heal faster.
