I'm sorry to hear about your burn injury. For a burn where the upper skin layer has been removed, it's important to keep the area clean and protected to promote healing and prevent infection.

Here are some steps you can follow:

  • Clean the area gently with mild soap and water to remove any dirt.
  • Apply a topical antibiotic ointment such as Fucidin Ointment (which contains sodium fusidate) to help prevent bacterial infection. This ointment is commonly used for skin infections and can support healing.
  • Cover the burn with a sterile, non-stick dressing to protect it from further injury and contamination.
  • Avoid applying harsh chemicals or home remedies that might irritate the skin.
  • Keep the area moisturized once healing begins, to reduce dryness and help minimize dark marks.
  • Protect the healing skin from sun exposure by covering it or using sunscreen, as sun can worsen pigmentation changes.

If you notice increasing redness, swelling, pus, severe pain, or if the burn does not improve in a few days, please consult a dermatologist promptly.

For personalized care and to ensure proper healing, I recommend seeing a dermatologist who can assess the burn and guide you on the best treatment to reduce scarring and pigmentation.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.I understand you've burned your stomach skin with hot tea.
