What to do about a peeling burn?

Peeling burn scabs..?

  • i got 4 patches of burns on my face about a cm in diameter.. it's been 3 days now and the scab started to peel off. so i peeled 2 scabs myself.. my aunt got angry and told me it would leave scars.. is it true? the skin underneath is pinkish and i applied bactroban on it because my granny's nurse told me it would make the healing fast.. am i doomed to get scars? what's better, bactroban or neosporin?

  • Answer:

    Bactroban heals fast. You should never peel off scabs - they are there to protect your skin and is a natural healing the body does for itself to protect the damaged area. By peeling off early will further damage the skin and could cause more scarring.
