So i have a burn on my hand the blister is huge and its gone all the way down my finger, should i pop it or leave it????

[pinkmichk]

leave it dont pop cos you will open it up for infection might be a idea to keep it covered with a burn plaster type thing

[pinkmichk]

oh and get something like savalon cream on will help heal it

[Iceman]

pop it under running water.

Wrap a tissue round it.


It will be OK.

i know.....wont be doing that again....the fact i didnt wake up while it burned me is what scares me most

[pinkmichk]

you might have a scar but not one of those hugely visable ones but one that shows more in cold weather if that makes sense i've got one on my wrist from the oven can hardly see it apart from when cold its a red line and got one thats healing from the grill on my other forearm that will go same way

I really hope you learned a lesson. Many people die because of what you did.

They will dress it with flamazine or generic equivalent and a gauze dressing on it, if its large or deep. If you have put a compeed blister or burn dressing on they may just tell you to leave that on and go back if it gets painful, or more inflamed. keep the dressing as clean as possible.
