An eleven-month-old baby has been scalded, how should parents perform first aid and treatment?

A 14-month-old baby was accidentally burned on the inner side of the arm and armpit by boiling water, resulting in skin breakage. After using iodine alcohol swabs for sterilization and applying burn ointment, it has been a day without further sterilization as I read that iodine alcohol is for intact skin and cannot be used on broken skin. Is that correct? I’m also unsure of what other sterilizing agent to use. Additionally, I haven’t visited the hospital yet.

If a baby is scalded by hot water, with blisters and minor wounds breaking out, inquire about appropriate medication for treatment.
