I have worked on a burn unit for 7 years, there has been much debate about wither to pop or leave blisters!. In your case I would say leave it!. I know it sounds painful, but try to wash the area at least a couple times a day with soap and water and you may want to keep it covered up!. It should reabsorb on its own!. If it bursts on its own, it's fine, just continue to wash it and cover it!. Try taking some Tylenol or some kind of mild pain reliever for pain, if you think you need it!. Good luck! =]Www@Answer-Health@Com
no don't pop it, if possible, cause it could get infected!. the blister is your bodies way of protecting the burned skin underneath so it can heal!. just put on a bandaid and let it heal itself!. it shouldn't take too long for the blister to disipate on it's own!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It should pop on it's own either way it takes the same amount of time to heal!. Make sure you have some antibiotic cream and band aid on hand when it does!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
