Your dressing gets wet or falls off

You feel ill, have a high temperature or develop a rash

The burn becomes swollen

The burn becomes more painful

The area of redness around the wound gets bigger

Aftercare

Although the skin may appear discoloured for several months, your burn should be healed within about two weeks. Contact the department if the burn has not healed after this time. The healed skin will probably be sensitive to sunlight for several months after a burn. You should always cover up the area where possible, and use a HIGH factor sunblock for at least two summers.

Use of moisturisers and massage will help improve your burn over time.
