Infected burn advice pleaseeee!!!?

Over a week ago, I got immensely drunk & let this guy give me a smiley burn. (keeping the lighter on upside down to heat it up, then pressing it to your skin) and I know. Stupid, stupid, stupid! And it was really deep and it's all infected and green and I've been washing it & cleaning it hourly & and putting germolene on it and everything. The problem is, I get a scab, there's green infection underneath it, so I peel it a bit to get it out, and the whole thing comes off & I think its ll done and clean and then a scab forms and it gets infected again, I don't know what to do!!:-( help me pleaaseee?

    If its infected you need an antibiotic. U should have washed with peroxide it dries and used neosporin on it. See a Dr. And don't do that again!!

    ok, i will't attempt to downplay how extreme it incredibly is. you have a 2d degree (partial thickness) burn which has advance into contaminated. it incredibly is amazingly significant which you give up employing something (neosporin, etc.) as this in basic terms perpetuates the an infection. you may immediately see a doctor or threat extreme injury to the limb.
