Burn not healing
I recoeved a series of burns from a cooking rack falling on my arm. Most of the burns have started healing no problem but one burn seems to not be healing quite right. It is more of an indent instead of a raised bubble, and the middle was semi hollow but has since started scabbing, and the sides of the burn are white and I've noticed when cleaning the burn, the sides very fragile and more tissue like than the middle. The whole burn is tender and there is a small outline of red around the burn but it is very thin. I've been keeping it clean and uncovered (aside from during sleep) but it doesn't seem to be healing right. I need help and I don't want it to get infected or worse.
