Got burn from the steam coming from my pot fingers are blistered, swollen and full of puss what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doctor can evaluate: A doctor should examine the skin, checking it for infection. The skin in a 3rd degree burn is cooked and is dead, so the scarring needs to be cared for by the specialist. With 2nd degree burns, which is more likely with a steam burn during cooking, the skin under the blister is alive and trying to heal. A popped or unpopped blister should both heal ok, if kept free of infection.
