I’ve moistutized it and wearing long-sleeves but I’ve never done that before so what can I expect in terms of healing time, process?

Edit: bought and applied contininy doses of Polysporin as pharm recommended until i can see my dr

    Once you’ve cooled it and applied polysporin, you should put a bandage to keep from smearing off all the polysporin onto your clothes and keep it clean. If you don’t have a bandage that clean long sleeve will do, but it might get a greasy mark you’ll need to treat later for laundry: try rubbing in a dab of Dawn before laundering it.

    Bear in mind, it may randomly start hurting and feeling burny again later, because the nerve endings hate burns. Cold water will help again. Fridge temp is fine, helps numb it without causing ice damage.
