I accidentally burned my leg pretty badly on the silencer of my bike a few days ago. It's been 5 days, and instead of getting better, it's looking worse. The skin is stretching and really hurting, plus there's a liquid-filled bubble on the wound. It's about 4 cm in diameter, circular, very dark, and really sensitive now. I'm not sure what ointment to use or what precautions to take. Any advice?
