Burn wound
I burned myself 25 days ago. Skin debridement was done and I had some of my burn wound dressing s at hospital and after that I have been doing my wound dressing at home. It's been more than ten days I have been doing my dressing at home. I'd like to know if my wound has healed and can I leave it open? I was asked to not let it get wet. Now, if it gets wet would that cause problem? Can I just leave it open after applying Neosporin, the ointment I have been using.
Which ointment should I use?
