Burn wound treatment

2021-04-29 19:19:00
I burned my self 20 days ago by spilling boiling tea on myself. I had skin debridement and dressing of the wound. I had 4-5 dressing dome at the hospital and then I have been doing the dressing of my burn wound at home. It is more than ten days. I'd like to know how would I know that my wound is healing and I should stop the dressing and leave it open.
