Sorry to hear about your accident. Get well soon.
koldrun:
I was trying to prepare dinner about 2 hours ago, when boiling water poured on my leg. I was rushed to a nearby hospital, where I was administered first aid, and then the doctor prescribed some drugs. I have a feeling that this might be a third degree scald. Your suggestions are welcome on how to treat this.

TOO EARLY TO EXCHANGE WORDS.
Have work to go.

This post is insensitive. What's wrong with you?
Things happen.
I had a similar situation where a handle of a pot I was transporting to the sink broke and dumped hot water on my leg.
Fortunately the damage wasn't this bad.

koldrun head to the hospital. You need a burn unit if you can find one. Not sure it should even be exposed like that.

You didn't go a hospital, you went to a chemist shop who sold drugs to you. Trained medics would have peeled off the burnt skin, treated and dressed the wound. That's not a 3rd degree burn, you won't be needing skin grafts. However, thr burnt skin will need to be peeled off so you can apply antibiotics and other treatments to the wound and dress it. Go to a hospital and get proper treatment instead of a chemist shop.
Hey, curious, how can you tell it's a 2nd vs. 3rd degree burn?

Guy man, just go to the nearest teaching hospital. Nobody discharges someone with burns around joint and foot. You are meant to be on admission.

See online doctors. Instead of them advising op to visit nearest hospital, they are here advising him to apply one thing or the other. Op, thankfully the burn area doesn't look widespread but I can see some signs of wound infection. Please visit your nearest hospital for proper assessment. Your wound would require dressing and possible antibiotics. You heard this from a doctor
Did you fail to read where the OP mentioned he has been to the hospital?
Re: I Just Had A Severe Scald From Boiling Water (graphic Images) by RandomFellow: 8:01am On Oct 17, 2024
Please go to a good hospital, they'll give you what you need.

If that is not possible, I'll recommend something for your use to clean the wound.

1. NCP
2. Gauze roll (the very big size; I bought 1 for ₦10,170 in H-Medix)

Dilute the NCP one or 2 caps with 2x quantity of water. Wet the gauze with it and apply over the wound. Leave the gauze on the wound till evening, and repeat in the evening.

You would need to apply another layer of the gauze over the one on the wound, so that the NCP you applied on it does not dry up. Please don't apply any powder (cicatrin powder), or pap... Anything that can leave a particle on the wound.

You'll be fine with some scars, but you'll definitely be fine. Get well soon
Re: I Just Had A Severe Scald From Boiling Water (graphic Images) by Darkmode64: 8:02am On Oct 17, 2024
My advice for you is:
Stop applying GV ink to your wounds. It makes the skin coarse making it difficult for the wound to heal properly. You can get dermazin cream. It works best for burn situations like this. Speaking of experience it works.

Wishing you all the best.

It'll heal with time. The flesh will grow back and everything will become normal. Give it time, Probably months to heal up

Thanks so much, I appreciate
Don't go and start buying heaven and Earth drugs. Antibiotics drugs is okay!

Ensure to always eat healthy, esp protein as this would enable the flesh to heal up quickly

So because he has been to the hospital, and treatment initially instituted is not working, he has no right to go back to the same hospital to let them know or even try a different hospital? You would rather he tried self medication for a wound that is already infected and risks him having more severe infection?

Got it already, thanks.
I was going to recommend this before I saw that you got it already. It's very effective. But you have to apply under sterile conditions for it to work, clean the wound and wash your hands thoroughly before using them to apply the cream. Within 3-7 days, you should begin to see the wound dry up and heal. Worked excellently for me.

And yours is a second-degree burn.
Re: I Just Had A Severe Scald From Boiling Water (graphic Images) by Titanium001(m): 12:50pm On Oct 17, 2024
Go straight to a proper hospital for a proper medical care. Take no other advice from here.

Sorry.
Re: I Just Had A Severe Scald From Boiling Water (graphic Images) by HenryWilliams(m): 2:42pm On Oct 17, 2024
find original honey and apply.
also take antibiotics for infection.
in a few months, your leg will be as good as new.
