Question
The lower arm of my left hand has been treated for about four or five days. I want to know if skin grafting is necessary. Can it heal without grafting? I don’t want to do skin grafting because the child is too young. Are there any other options? Please ask, do you need to bandage a deep second-degree burn?
Answer
The depth of the burn directly affects the size of the scar after the burn wound is treated. Your situation should be classified as a deep second-degree burn. This type of burn naturally heals more slowly and leaves scars. If you don’t trust your doctor, you can seek treatment at another hospital. During this period, it is necessary to apply disinfectant solutions for disinfection, and also apply anti-inflammatory ointments and aloe vera gel for reasonable treatment.
