Burn care? Please help.?!


Question: Burn care? Please help.?
I have 3 eraser burns on my right upper thigh only 2 days old and I have 2 more on my other upper thigh that are 5 days old. The 5 day old burns aren't the ones really worrying me because they almost have like a scab? They're okay. On the other leg, they hurt really badly. All of them on both legs are only an inch and a half long max and not very wide. They're basically friction burns, one of them is the worst because I think it has blisters on it- small ones.

I have no idea how to take care of them or what type of bandaging to use. I air them out as much as possible but as soon as I go to pull down my shorts so I can walk around the house or go out, they rub on the pants and get all wet again.It hurts when I extend my leg and I don't know what to do at night. We have gauze which I've been taping to my leg, but it sticks and in the morning when I pull it off it really hurts. What do I do?? I want it to heal because it hurts to do anything but just lay there. I've been using neosporin too.

Please don't try and talk to me about why not to hurt myself. I'm already seeing someone about it but in the mean time I don't know how to talk care of the burns and I'm deathly afraid of infection-can't tell my parents.

Use a soothing antiseptic gel or cream on them, like Soov. Something like Bepanthen for nappy rash (I know it sounds weird) may help too- it creates a barrier so infection can't get in, and soothes raw, painful skin too.
