I burned myself on Thursday. I applied some polysporin and everything was fine. Now there seems to be some white/yellowish discharge like pus... should I consult a doctor?

Yes, Bactroban is available over the counter and can also be prescribed by a pharmacist. You can apply it four times a day for 5 to 7 days. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to reach out.
