How Can Burn Wound In The Groin Area And Right Leg Be Treated?
I got a third degree burn on my right leg , it went over to my private area a little (female) and also over the side of my leg and down my thigh. I am now 16 and I am starting to experience cramps in my high part of my thigh, burning also, and shooting pains all up and down my leg. Sometimes it feels as if at the top of my thigh near my private area locks up?

Hello,
As per your clinical history is concerned, please follow like this:
1) Do a detailed clinical examination by your Doctor and your Doctor will determine [TBSA].
2) For 3rd degree burn, do take admission at the hospital and take medication in IV drips [antibiotics (Ceftriaxone) and painkillers like morphine] and a Tetanus shot.
3) Discuss with your physiotherapist for exercise plan after healing.
Do follow few preventive steps like this:
1) Never leave items cooking on the stove unattended.
2) Keep hot liquids out of the reach of children and pets. Never cook while wearing loose-fitting clothes that could catch fire over the stove.
3) Keep space heaters away from combustible materials.
4) Check your smoke detectors and change their batteries regularly. Keep chemicals, lighters, and matches out of the reach of children.
5) Set your water heater's thermostat between 120 and 130 F to prevent scalding.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
