    Either vitamin E oil or anti-biotic oil. Keep covered for a few hours, the let is breathe.

    i burned it on a grill its in a soft cast because of the size and placement they had to make sure they werent misdiagnosing third degree burns and to remove the dead skin etc so yeah im really just asking about about upping protein intake to help it heal faster
