Default severe motor 4 wheeler burn HELP!?

i've been to a friend's house for a birthday party, we went riding in his 4-wheeler and i got ATLEAST more than 5 seconds burn on the back of my ankle, i will have photos tomorrow of the burn but i wanted to know what to do, the burn happened friday afternoon, after a couple of minutes it began to bubble up of a liquid i believe which is infection, it looked yellow and it popped for some reason and again bubbled and popped.. i don't know what to do, i contacted my mom and she said to put polysporin on it, but it hurts as heelllllllllllllllll!!!! i can't even feel my leg(i can barely walk too) and it says the package, "do not put on severe burns" "do not put on very deep skin burn" is it considered a severe burn what should i do, should i go to the doctor to get it uninfected and get a prescription?

photos tomorrow of the burn about the size of my thumb but very deep
i didn't popped the blisters, they popped alone, i'm 13, and i cannot sleep with this pain but i putted a gauze and a cloth around it and putted some tape so it's like tied together, and the pain is gone away, maybe i exagarated abit on the can barely walk thing but it realy hurted. i'll tell my mom to make an appointment tomorow thank you.

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!!

You need to go to the Emergency Room right now! The people that work there will clean up your burn and should put some silvadene ointment on it, depending on how long it has been and if you have done anything to it to make it better!

You might also get some I.V. antibiotics, but you definitely need some antibiotics to fight the infection!

It will get a lot worse if you don't go to the hospital right now!

I work in the E.R. and have delt with all kinds of burns! So go now!

I would definitely go see a doctor b/c you don't want the burn to get infected and then the situation will be a whole lot worse and you develop Gangrene or something... Get to the doctor fast!
