I have a 4 day old scald (kettle steam) on my arm. Still wet. I've been just running shower on it am and applying a non stick dressing. I'll attach a pic. What would you put on it? Exudate is yellow. Not smelly. Am I OK just continuing as I am? Thankyou

I’d go and see a pharmacist

I am not an expert at all, but yes, I would seek professional advice for that one

Given that it's been four days

Thanks folks - I'll give it a bit longer, as it seems a bit drier today, and hurting less.
