Answers:
Third-degree burns occur when most of the epidermis is lost with damage to underlying ligaments, tendons and muscle!. Burn victims will exhibit charring of the skin, and sometimes hard eschars will be present!. These types of burns are often considered painless, because nerve endings have been destroyed in the burned area!. Hair follicles and sweat glands may also be lost due to complete destruction of the dermis!. Third-degree burns result in scarring and may be fatal if the affected area is significantly large!. If extensive enough, it can increase the risk of infection, including bacterial, and can result in death!.
Second-degree burns manifest as erythema with superficial blistering of the skin, and can involve more or less pain depending on the level of nerve involvement!. Second-degree burns involve the superficial (papillary) dermis and may also involve the deep (reticular) dermis layer
Neosporin and wrap it like any other wound!. u need to put something on it before u wrap it because the wrap will get stuck in the wound and prolong the healing process!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Urgent care center at the soonest possible moment!. Even if it takes 4 hrs!. I suggest you get up at 5am and put the baby in the car and drive to the first Urgent care you come to or if there isn't one, the hospital!. Blackened skin means 3rd degree!. You are risking him losing his hand, not just his finger!. It is unbelievable you waited two days, but that is on your mom's head, not yours!. He needs to see a doc with all hasteWww@Answer-Health@Com
If you care about him,you need to get him help!. If your family is as caring as you say, the officials will see that and be able to tell it's only an accident!. Bottom line, not getting him help could also constitute child abuse!. And tell the truth, because lies will be found out and make your situation worse!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
first of all you said 4hours then 5 minutes, if his leg is broke and he has burns and no one is willing to go to the hospital, then it is child abuse, how would you like to be in pain from 2 really agonizing things, and no one would take you, he deserves to be taken away if you dont bring himWww@Answer-Health@Com

It sounds like it is defiantly a second degree burn, but depending on the depth of the burn it could be third degree!. It needs to be kept clean and dry!. If you have it you should cover the burn with Polysporine or Ozenol!. And then cover it loosely with a clean cry bandage!. Keep the dressings clean and out of his mouth!. Don't let him pick at it or anything!.
You really should take him to a hospital, at 9 months he may need antibiotics!. Burns like that have a tendency to become infected, and he is very young to be taking chances with serious infection!. Don't take chances!. I understand that you are far from a hospital, I live in a small community in Northern Ontario myself, but there must be some way you can manage it!. Do you have a doctors office that is closer or maybe a nursing station!?!?
