Specializes in Psychiatry

No: When a blister pops it is a portal for possible infection. Keep it clean and watch for any signs of infection.

Burn on thumb from hot steam. Very red. Looks patchy or maybe "future blisters" (hard to tell) Internet keeps saying hand burns need to be treated differently. What is best treatment and does being on hand change that? Pain is decreasing. Thanks
