Do you use povidone iodine ointment on burns?
If the burn is not open, don’t use the iodine ointment. If it is ‘juicy’ like a broken blister, then use it is ok. The best thing for a closed burn is first ice to stop the tissue damage and pain as soon as you can, and then after that, to use an emollient such as olive oil to keep the skin from drying too much. No antibiotic cream is needed unless it is open.
