Is It Normal To Have Pain In Palm Post Steam Burn On Hands?
I received a steam burn on my left and right hand about a month ago. I went straight to A&E and had a burn cream and bandage applied. The side by my thumb on my left hand seemed to be effected but now I feel pain on the other side of my palm. It is now about a month since my burn, is this normal?
Thank you.
Thank you.

Hi,
It seems that there might be having some infection on burn site.
Go for one oral antibiotic medicine course for 5-7 days.
Clean the affected part with antiseptic lotion and apply antibiotic cream.
Keep the part open.
Ok and take care.
