My wife is a RN and clinical cordinator for the burn center here in Fresno. I showed her the picture, without knowing the timing or details and she said that "the burn was 2nd degree partial thickness and it needs to be debrided (cleaned with soap and water, ouch!) The white area needs to be cleaned off, and if the tissue is pink, dressed with xeroform/bacitracin. If the tissue is white underneath, then a silver dressing would be necessary, and maybe even surgical debridement with grafting. It will take about 4 weeks to heal. If the tissue is anything but pink, it will scar. It's important to keep it clean and a dressing applied."
I don't know what doctor she went to, but it would be best to get care at a burn center. These burn wounds often require specialized care. Sorry for the delay in posting this--hope all turns out fine. If you have any questions, give me a call--I'll put in direct contact with my wife.
