forget about posting pictures-you need to report to the emergency room right away!!!

you have sustained second degree burns to your leg and you'll need special cream called silvadene along with some antibiotics to ward off infection and to also treat the infection it sounds like you already have.

this is very serious being that you said you can hardly walk. infection spreads quickly and the longer it goes untreated, the worse you will become. i've seen people ignore infection and end up having to have surgery to go in and clean out the infection.

PLEASE, PLEASE have someone drive you to the emergency room or the nearest urgent care clinic.

do not apply ANYTHING to the burn site and if the blisters have formed again-leave them alone-popping them introduces the sterile fluid inside to the germs in the air and your infection could get worse.

i work in trauma icu and have seen several burns-you need to have this looked at right away.

good luck to you!!
