A member asked:
I burned my ring finger with boiling water a week ago. i was prescribed a silver sulfadiazine cream. what else i can do to avoid permanent scarring?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Keep the blister: hydrated with some vaseline lotion but avoid moisturizing lotion with lots of chemicals or scent. You should not get significant scarring if the new skin layer underneath the dead sloughing skin is kept hydrated. Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.
