[QUOTE="klmno, post: 401407, member: 3699"] I'm using the non-stick type of bandage and yes, it takes 5 or 6, depending on the size, to cover the entire area. I'm using the rx'd ointment on the burned area right before putting the dressing on. I'm using as little tape on my skin as possible because I realized that a good deal of my pain thru last night was due to the position I was in when the nurse put yesterday's dressing on, then being flat on my back last night caused a lot of pulling and tugging on the tape and thus, the bandages. But one thing I am wondering about, there was a yellowish thick liquid when I took the bandages off this morning. I'm not sure if it was the ointment although when it comes out of the container and is first put on, it is white. Or if it is oozing from the broken skin peeling off. And then the next question if it is oozing, is it anything to be concerned about? What are the early indicators of an infection when it's a burn like this? It's odd to me but I noticed if I lean over so my chest/neck are parallel with the floor, I get a lot of pain in the burned area. [/QUOTE]
