After the shower it was still very painful and they went to the emergency room. They were given hydrocortisone and Silvadene and were told to stay at home and keep the area open to air to make sure there was not additional irritation. Spoke with the team member and they said the affected area is approximately 4 palms wide. If symptoms subside and there is no infection they are cleared to return to work on [REDACTED].
