She has a layer of skin missing on all three burns, and I want to know what I can out on this besides neosporin, or is this wht she needs?
thank you...it does not hurt her anymore, but they do need to heal, so i have not out any bandages on it.

I got a pretty bad burn on my arm from the oven and I just used neosporin and covered it with gauze during the day. It healed up fine. You probably want to put a bit of neosporin on it occasionally, and if you think it might need it, bandage it during the day and let it breathe at night. experienceOther Answers (5)

For some reason, some people use butter... Do NOT use butter as it makes it worse. Instead, follow the following steps:
(NOTE: The following may cause pain and/or irritation, but, it will be better in the long run, once the burn clears up. If needed, you could take an acetaminophen pill, or a nonsterodial anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), such as Advil™, to minimize or neutralize the pain).
* Take a cool bath or shower. Adding 1/2 cup (about 120 milliliters) of cornstarch, oatmeal or baking soda to your bath water may provide some relief.
* Apply an aloe vera lotion several times a day.
* Leave blisters intact to speed healing and avoid infection. If they burst on their own, apply an antibacterial ointment on the open areas.
* If needed, take an over-the-counter pain reliever such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others), naproxen (Aleve) or acetaminophen (Tylenol, others). Don%26#039;t give children or teenagers aspirin. It may cause Reye%26#039;s syndrome, a rare but potentially fatal disease.
Do not use petroleum jelly, butter or other home remedies on your sunburn. They can prevent or delay healing.
If your sunburn begins to blister or if you experience immediate complications, such as rash, itching or fever, see your doctor.
Hope this helps.
Get well soon.

In elementry school I just let them go. Sure my skin peeled off but then it would grow back harder so the next time I used the monkey bars it would peel off.
If it doesn%26#039;t hurt her anymore, I would worry about it. If it was bleeding or she lost enough skin to bleed then you will probably want to use some neosporin and some bandaids. If just skin peeled off just let it go. Next time it won%26#039;t hurt her as bad. =) -
if you don%26#039;t mess with it will spread all over her hands like my daughters.
