It's generally not recommended to apply Neosporin or other antibiotic ointments on second-degree burns. Instead, it's best to keep the burn clean and covered with a sterile, non-stick bandage. For pain relief and to promote healing, consider using aloe vera or specific burn ointments designed for such injuries. Always consult a healthcare professional for proper treatment advice.

What do i treat a burn on my hand with?

In order to treat a burn on your hand it is important to know what type of burn it is. A superficial burn (known as a first degree burn) should be placed under cool running water. A partial-thickness burn (known as a second degree burn) will typically blister and should be submerged in cool water. A full-thickness burn (known as a third degree burn) is a serious medical condition and 911 should be called.


Should you put peroxide on a second degree burn?

I have a second degree, possibly third. This happened on July fourth while lighting 3 sparklers at once! Really bad idea! After several days the fluid from the blister on my finger leaked out. I removed the skin left from the blister (which I was told you should NOT do! ) I was told by my mom(she is an RN) to clean with soap and water, apply burn cream( I've been using neosporin) then cover with a sterile bandage. Well I decided I should try cleaning it with peroxide. That was a horrible idea! It burned really bad! It caused a small blister on the raw area of the skin. I rinsed it off immediately and held a towel against my finger till it stopped burning! I had always thought peroxide was good for burns/cuts. I suggest nobody use peroxide on a second or third degree burn. By the way, Do NOT let the burn area dry out. This can cause it to crack and lead to infection!


What do you put on a burn after it as dried out but not fully healed?

Assuming this is a first to second degree burn (as a third degree burn necessitates professional help), simply put some anti-bacterium cream and a plaster on the area. It'll naturally heal on it's own. Some people also hydrate the area as the cause the less possible wrinkles in the area, which is customary for burns.
