I burned my leg with boiling water three days ago blisters have burst . should i keep it covered and what should i put on it?

You have to be : Careful when you have a blister. Are you a diabetic or immunocompromised in any way? If it is getting worse meaning becoming red, hot or painful you need to see your physician to possibly get it drained, cultured and to start antibiotic therapy.
