Burn Blister?!
Question:
Burn Blister?
I got a blister on my hand today from a burn. It is swelled up. What should i do? pop it or leave it?
Answers:
Don't pop the blister. The fluid inside is produced by the body to promote healing and prevent inection.
Popping it will cause the healing to be delayed and can cause an infection to develop.
Run the area under cold water for 10 to 15 minutes to sooth the burn and area around it. DO NOT APPLY OINTMENTS. You can apply aloe vera though. It's a natural antiseptic and sooth's burns. Cover it with a light gauze and bandage to prevent it popping.
