Question 1

how can you treat a blister burn?

Accepted Answer

Simple treatment: A burn is a response of the tissues to injury from heat or chemicals. It is simply inflammation which means increase blood flow to the area to promote healing. Do not use ice as this can injure already injured skin. Cool water soaks can help as can taking anti-inflammation medicines like Motrin or advil (ibuprofen). Avoid any further damage as this can cause scarring . Good skin cream applied daily will help.

what to do if i had a blister burn that burst?

Accepted Answer

Photosensitivity: You are having a photosensitivity reaction to something either external like a photocontact  dermatitis or a reaction to a photosensitive internal condition which needs to be evaluated.  See your dermatilogist.

Question 8

should i pop a blister from a burn?

Accepted Answer

No: Although blisters from burns sometimes rupture spontaneously,  there is no reason to unroof blisters intentionally. There is generally some protection from the blister, and lancing at  home poses a risk for infection without a clear benefit. If significant pain or any loss of function is present with this burn, which is at least 2nd degree, seek evaluation.

Question 9

how can i treat popped burn blisters?

Accepted Answer

You describe a 2nd-: ...Degree or partial-thickness burn that will heal on its own, given good wound care. Keep the wound clean and apply antibiotic ointment to it until healed. Use simple pain meds, such as Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen for discomfort. If it does not heal or seems like it's getting infected, you should seek medical care.

Question 10

would it be typical for burn blisters to get bigger after a few days?

Accepted Answer

Burns: Burn blisters can get larger as a result of the tissue response to the burn injury. Burn blisters may need to be drained and debrided. Proper burn wound care is necessary to prevent infection and to minimize scarring and loss of function. Unless the burn is very small you should seek medical attention.
