Second-Degree Burns: Showering & Aftercare - What You Need to Know

No, you should not get in the shower if you have second degree burns on your arm and stomach.

Second degree burns are characterized by blisters, redness, and intense pain. They can also be deep and involve damage to the skin's dermis layer. Getting water on a second degree burn can increase the risk of infection and slow the healing process.

You should keep the burned areas clean and dry. You can use a damp cloth to gently clean the burned areas, but avoid using soap or harsh chemicals. You should also avoid applying any lotions or creams to the burned areas, as these can block air flow and trap bacteria.

If your burns are severe, or if you have any concerns about them, you should see a doctor.
