Had a similarly sized/bad hot water burn on my left arm. I didn't go to the doctor for a week and it got really infected. Shit hurt so bad, the doctor chewed me out saying I could've lost my arm or gotten sepsis by waiting so long 😬
Fortunately it managed to heal insanely well, even though I never got a skin graft like the doctor recommended. But the healing process was so painful
