How can you cure blisters from a sun burn?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't pop them: Apply cold compresses, take Ibuprofen or acetaminophen, and avoid popping the blisters. Apply a topical antibiotic ointment. If the blisters are severe or rupture, see a dermatologist to treat possible infection.
