Question
How should one handle infections and ulcers after a burn?
Answer
Burn ulcers caused by infections are a common complication of burns. For smaller areas of burn infections with ulcers, regional debridement and open drainage should be performed to timely empty the pus. Iodine tincture can be used to disinfect the wound, and Bepanthen or Miconazole ointment can be applied. Active dressing changes should also be carried out. Generally, these methods can achieve satisfactory results.
