A member asked:

I got a 2nd degree burn (1/2'x 1/2') on my second finger. i took the blistered skin off the wound. should i leave it open or cover it with a bandage?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You probably: should keep it covered to protect the underlying skin and prevent infection from setting in, assuming that it is one half INCH in diameter. You also need a tetanus booster if you are due for it.
