Please go see a doctor. I am quite sure that Silvadene is available in the UK. I've used Silvadene on an open wound, and it really hastened the healing. Silvadene is a cream, and it is not expensive here in the states. I think I paid $8 for a good sized container at the pharmacy back in April. Leaving a burn exposed to the air is good, but if you have developed an infection due to ignorance on the part of the person branding you, just leaving it exposed is not going to deal with the infection. If you do cover it, you really need to create a barrier, such as with a silicone based cream or ointment, between your skin and the sterile dressing to reduce irritation. I was burned as a child, quite badly, and I was also living in the UK when it happened (my father was stationed there). Fortunately, I was able to receive immediate medical attention, and I have never scarred. I do hope youo will seek immediate medical attention, and put as much distance between the person who 'branded' you, and yourself, as possible. He sounds very dangerous. Anne
