what to use on a first degree burn caused by a motorcycle pipe

[Bhupinder Kaur, MD]

Hello,
Treatment of burns depends upon the depth of injury from a burn. First-degree burns are the most shallow (superficial). Most superficial burns heal within about two weeks and don't usually leave a scarf. For these kind of burns; you can apply antibiotic cream such as silver sulfadiazine (Silvadene).It will prevent infection and help in fast healing.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
