One of the characteristics of a second degree burn is blistering.The epidermis can be burned away, exposing the dermis. My belief is that nothing that isn't sterile should come in contact with these exposed areas.
Unpasteurized eggs often harbor salmonella. Studies have shown salmonella can enter the body transdermally.

Skin with second degree burns would not have the normal protection against transdermal invasion.
