Burn: You have serous fluid leaking from what may be a blister from the burn Keep the wound clean and covered you can apply silvadene (silver sulfadiazine) cream. You can combine it with an antibiotic ointment to avoid infection

Burn: If it is a clear yellow fluid it is ok, but if thick and cloudy it can be infected. You should show it to a doctor to be on the safe side

Episodes of redness, burning sensation, numbness and vein swelling in my feet, ankles, and sometimes hands at night or when standing. The skin itself is not cracked or dry. Socks, shoes and hot shower makes worse. Elevating feet helps. Any ideas?
