HELP Oil Burn On Face!
Hi guys, i was cooking on Wednesday night (it’s Sunday morning) and i accidentally got oil splatter on my face. I didn’t think much of it but now it’s still red & a friend told me I might need plastic surgery??
I was scrolling Reddit & only found rlly old posts so I’m not sure if the medicine/advice is still applicable…
What should i do? I have been using moisturizers from both senka + aquaphor 2-4 times a day since Friday.
I bought Target’s scar/burn ointment with active ingredient Allontoin 0.5%. I have also bought silicone scar tape which i don’t know when to use & Mederma PM which I plan to use starting tomorrow night (1x a day).
Sorry if this seems really dumb. I tried asking my mom and partner but none of them have been really helpful cause they aren’t familiar with USA medicine & neither am i!
Also, I googled a lot and it said to use the ointments after the wound is closed but I’m also unsure if my wounds are closed or not. They’re not wet but also not smooth… My parents aren’t familiar with USA medicine since I’m not from here so I’d appreciate all help possible.
Please help! Thank u!
