What should I do if my hot oil burn is still not healing and has blisters six days after starting treatment with ice, Rinifol, Augmentin 625, and SS SULFA cream?
It is encouraging that you are already using amoxicillin/clavulanate (Augmentin 625), a lactic acid bacillus probiotic (Rinifol), and silver sulfadiazine cream (SS SULFA). Blisters are common with oil burns, but please do not pop them, as they protect the underlying skin from infection. Avoid applying ice, as extreme cold can actually worsen tissue damage; use cool room-temperature water instead. Since the healing is delayed, please consult your doctor for a physical evaluation to ensure there is no deeper tissue damage and to safely adjust your wound care plan.
