72-year-old female, s/p burn, two-weeks ago. Cooking over open fire and her dress caught on fire. Was treated at a hospital with silvadine cream and gauze dressing then discharged home without any further tx since then. Presented at our facility today requesting further care. Advice in moving forward with her tx would be appreciated. #burn #tropical-medicine
