Whom to contact in case of burn injury
I have got burn injury on my left thigh because of accidently pouring hot water on my left thigh. Which doctor should I consult ? What medicines to take? I am currently applying silverex cream and there's no Pus in the wound so far. This happened 3 days back.

Health Tips
No self treatment
Burns could be a very debilitating condition. Poorly treated burn wound often lead to hypertrophic scars which are very uncosmetic and difficult to treat.
Also there are chances of infection.
So in a nutshell, please see a general surgeon asap.
