Can any medics advise on the following. 8 year old burned his arm on a hob on Wednesday evening, and a small blister came up. He was treated in a&e, with the burn cleaned and a burn dressing applied. We visited a&e outpatients this morning for follow up, and the burn was cleaned, with top layer of skin coming off, and a new dressing applied. No signs of infection, and a further appointment set for Monday.
My question (that I forgot to ask at the appointment) is what is the likely healing time? He has a swimming course booked in the holidays that starts a week on Monday (11 days away) and we don't know whether to cancel or rearrange. We are going on holiday in 17 days, by which time I hope it will be definitely healed. Any advice?
