Hi, I have second degree superficial burn on my right leg and it did start healing after 2 weeks of regular bandaging. Now my wound is dry and skin seems to be peeling out, what does this mean

Hi! Hope you are better now!! Peeling of adjacent skin is a sign of healing. Do not worry about it.
Also do not use strong antiseptic lotion like dettol/ savlon as it hampers the healing process.
Next Steps
Use mild cleansers like cetaphil to clean the would and let it heal naturally now.
