Talk to General Physician on Burn On Leg From Bike Silencer
Asking For Self, Male 32, Shamsabad, Rawalpindi
Last Saturday my leg got burned from the motorcycle silencer. It was mild as my leg touched the silencer for 2-3 seconds. I applied Toothpaste on the burn. The next day a blister formed on the burn and I de-roofed it. For 2-3 days i applied gauze pad dressing on the wound. Then i started applying Polyfax untill today. I need advice regarding what should i apply on the wound for quick healing as its been 7 days now and the wound is still causing me distress. There is some puss in the wound which is not healing with Polyfax. I could have shared picture of the wound but there is no such option here. Thank you so much in advance.

It seems your burn has got infected as it is showing some pus.Also it is not responding to polyfax .Also the formation of blister reveals that it was not superficial but partial skin thickness burn which will take a bit longer to heal..
It is suggested to keep the wound clean and dry.
Clean with normal saline and expose it to dry air for some period.While going outdoors, keep it covered with Quench cream-(silver sulphadiaxine) and gauze.You may apply Quench 3 times a day.
If it fails to heal better get it checked with a general physician.
Follow advice of Dr Col R Tauseef Irfan, but it will take time to recover completely
