Blister care: Most blisters are fairly superficial 2nd degree burns that you can treat at home to save you time and expense. If blisters break, will be painful - cover with ointment and bandaids to keep clean and let heal and don't break the intact blisters. The underlying skin layers will heal quite quickly in a few days.
