I am posting with permission of the mother.  A nursing mother of a 7mo 
infant was lifting something out of her over the range microwave when hot 
water spilled out of the dish onto her left breast.  She has a second degree 
(blistered) burn about 3 inches by 1.5 inches on the top of her breast, 
stopping just before the areola.  The baby has rubbed the blisters off.  It 
is extremely painful and she is getting very conflicting information about 
how to treat it (neosporin v. lansinoh, moist dressing v. dry dressing, with 
all of the usual "you can't use that -- you need to wean" :-P )  Do any of 
you have any recommendations for how to best treat this burn, prevent 
infection (it is now raw skin), keep the baby from messing with it, and ease 
the pain?

Thanks so much for your knowledge and experience,
Melanie Young
