Burn wound

2018-07-05 15:29:39
3 days ago a large pot of coffee fell on my left foot, left side under ankle, at work and melted away the top layers of skin off. I received first aid and received bandages for aftercare. I have cleaned/bandaged the burn site 2x a day for the past 2 days, however the burn site has developed into a large red raw wound which is sensitive to touch and movement. My sister says I should see a doctor for a steroid cream but I think it should clear up in its own time
