2nd Degree Burn, Blister Removed. Please help!?

I have a 2nd degree burn from the result of a BBQ accident. It blistered and then was ripped off. It is now raw skin. How should this be treated to avoid infection and heal quickly? Thanks.

Answer:
Neosporin and a bandage... but be sure to let it breathe once in a while. Eventually, it's going to scab. You'll be OK. I burned myself several times when we moved into our new house with a fireplace last winter, and I'm fine now.
topical anti-biotic, neo-sporin with a clean bandage or bandaid. Usually let it breath every day for several ours, then replace with new bandage and repeat.

If redness, swelling, pain, etc. continue to increase, seek medical attention.

Keep it clean!
Change the dressing every day. Wash gently, apply antibiotic cream and a clean dressing. You can buy dressings such as Telfa or Mepital at the drug store if the area is too large for a band-aid. These dressings won't stick as much as regular gauze. Please don't worry about airing it out. Wounds heal much faster when they are kept covered and moist.
