Hello doctor,I am a 24 year old male. I have a third-degree burn on my right feet because of motorcycle silencer. I got it treated with dressing for two weeks. They said the dead skin needs to be debrided. Then, they said there is infection and bone exposed. Now, I am using NPWT machine for two weeks with little improvement.
Hello. Silencer burn is a contact burn which is usually superficial and proper dressing/management would not have let the burns go so deep. In the pictures (attachment removed to protect patient identity), it is clear that the bone is exposed and is a bit infected/ischemic. It is less likely that the prolonged vac therapy will help it. It is better to ask your doctor to go for a flap cover after which you should be able to walk within three to four weeks with the wound completely healed.
