I got a second degree burn by boiled vegetable on Right hand top part. It's about one inch by half inch. The blister got popped after about 6 days and it's been 3 days after it popped. The layer of skin is turning darker and flakier day by day. I used Silverex and T-Bact alternatively two times a day each. What ointment/coconut oil/anti marks cream should I start using. And should I stop using Silverex now?
