On Sunday I burned my arm while cooking. I ran it under cold water on and off for 10mins but it blistered. That evening I put aloe Vera on it and covered with a dressing.

I have replaced the dressing daily after wiping with antiseptic wipes. Just a sterile pad held on with micro pore tape. Last night the blister burst. I replaced the dressing this morning.

Tonight the area around the burn is itching like mad. I do get hives and a mild reaction from plasters/micro pore. I have had the dressing off for about 2 hours but the marks are still visible.

So if you’re still reading, what should I do tonight? Cover it or let have an air and redress in the morning?
