Hello, I burned my knee on ice with my work and it's gotten bloody and infected What should I do? Put a bandage or leave it to the air and should I put polysporin or something like that?

Hi, I'm sorry to read about your troubles! You will give the skin a better chance to heal if you cover it with a bandage. Clean the area with mild soap and water, lightly pat off excess water, then cover with a bandage. Change the dressing only once every 24 hours, unless it becomes too soiled or wet However, if you notice persistent colored discharge, increased redness or swelling, or other symptoms such as fever, you should see a doctor promptly. I am available if you have any further questions! Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
