Is A Health Care Professional Consultation Advisable For A Burnt Wound?
Hi. I work in a restaurant and recently burned my finger pretty badly. The wound looks healthy and clean, but there is no blister. It s white and puffy... not too puffy, just about a 1/4 of an inch thickness. The swelling in my finger lasted for 2 days but seems to have gone down. Should I see a healthcare professional, or does this sound relatively normal?

It sounds normal. Pain will remain for sometime and if no raw patch then can be managed at home with topical antibiotic
