5 ds ago i've a small superficial burndt steam i put mebo, today i cover it e vaseline gauze for 3 hrs&after removing it i found small blister why this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Its a burn: Don't cover it with vaseline gauze. Pop the blister and then cover the entire wound in bacitracin. Do that 2x per day and cover it with fluff gauze and tape if it is deep (if it is superficial, don't cover it)....Until it heals. Blisters often occur in burns. (i do wound care so that is what we do to wounds and it works).
