Hers's one. Jumped into a hot bath tub and burned my Scrodom. This took some of the 1st layer of skin off. I have been using Neosporin for about 6 days 3 times a day. Is this the remedy? or should I being doing something different? How long before the skin grows back?

Burns of this area are rather forgiving. Recommendation to anyone who has a burn such as you describe would be to keep the area clean several times a day using an anti-microbial so such as dial. Topical antibiotics such as Neosporin or bacitracin are fine. If the burns are first or second degree as you described and I would expect that the new skin or grow back 10 to 14 days.
