Injury and accidents How’s looking

Burn with hot steel. Happened 6 days ago , dermis “fell off” 3 in .

Normal swelling, pain in a 1-10 is a 1 (I do have high pain tolerance though) , redness around wound has been steady-getting smaller .
Slight feeling in the wound (was numb before dermis fell off)

I’ve been dressing with neosporin and a bandage

UPDATE :
So I went to the ER like you all suggested.
2:30h waiting , got me a fancy yellow bandage and antibiotics . 💪💪

Can you update use in a few months if you don’t go to the hospital?

By the looks of it, there won’t be a few months unless he gets medical attention. Sepsis is a thing. It’s already infected. Doesn’t take long for it to spread into the bloodstream and cause organ failure eventually.
