Question: How can you tell if a burn is infected and if its healing?
Answers:
First off if it was indeed infected, it would be very red around the perimeter and swollen. When you get a blister from excessive heat you need to immediately put ice on it. Then run it under very cold water for as long as it takes to stop the stinging. Some cases the sting may not stop for a long while. We then at a good point pop the blister and cover it with a band-aid and bacitracin. We the repale the band-aid twice daily and watch for oozing of yellow or green substance, we clean this away with peroxide then anti bacterial soap. We cover the wound with a new band-aid until healed.
It sounds like it is healing. Just keep it clean.
clear yellow is just a serosanguinous fluid and is okay. thick pus is what you watch for as a problem
