In the treatment of small burns wounds occurring in inconveniently exposed body parts, bandaging is recommended. 

However, dressing changes and renewal of MEBO ointment at a thickness of 2–3 mm every 12 h is recommended. 

Contrary to the typical dressing change protocol, however, rather than debride the wound beneath the bandage, we recommend that the bandage be gently removed leaving the residual ointment and metabolic products to continue their cleansing activity.
