Patient's question:
Boiled water burn for 12 days, there is pus leakage from the scab, no fever or discomfort. I want to ask how to treat it, will it leave a scar?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Based on the symptoms shown, the wound has a clear infection. It needs to be cleaned and disinfected at the hospital, and then treated with a burn ointment applied externally. It should not leave a scar. If there is pus leakage after scabbing, and there is redness and swelling around it, then it should be considered an infection. The key is to enhance care—be sure to drink plenty of water, apply some iodophor for disinfection, and use some erythromycin ointment. Avoid fish, shrimp, spicy, and other irritating foods. It is essential to let the scab fall off naturally, and generally, it will not leave a scar.
