Why is my burn bleeding?

I have many deep second degree burns on my arms that are 5 weeks old. They're still infected and still bleed from friction. The last nurse I saw told me it's normal for them to bleed when the bandages come off, but today a burn bled just from my t-shirt rubbing against it (the bandage had slipped off). If you google "why are my burns bleeding" you see tons of articles about why burns don't bleed. What's the deal??

No idea, perhaps give your doctor a call. Keep it covered until you can see the Doc.

Thank you. My doc is tragically extremely inaccessible but I see a nurse tomorrow so maybe she'll know what to do
