Should I pop a blister I got from a burn?

Q: Four days ago I burnt my finger on some moltern plastic. I have kept it clean but keep knocking it all the time. I shows not signs of getting smaller so should I pop it?

A: cold water is the best/only first aid when you burn yourself – 20 minutes under the tap and no less. NEVER ice OR vinegar OR milk OR butter OR green tea OR mustard OR toothpaste OR sunscreen OR semen OR vaseline OR tomatoes OR vanilla extract OR yogurt OR sour cream OR egg white OR egg yellow OR lavender oil OR cocoa butter OR salt OR tea bags OR potato OR shaving cream OR olive oil OR baking soda OR banana peel OR petroleum jelly OR whipped cream OR avocado OR bacon grease OR corn starch OR turmeric OR lemon juice OR curd OR pickle juice OR saffron OR honey OR soy sauce OR urine OR talcum powder OR mashed strawberries OR exfoliating scrub OR mayonnaise OR peroxide OR bleach OR deep heat OR ketchup OR red grapes OR hairspray OR WD-40 OR flour OR pancake syrup- not until the skin is fully healed!I would advise that you cover the burnt area with white soft paraffin (white petroleum) or aqueous cream bp. (check the links below and see if you can find a local equivalent). wash the burn and reapply every 4-6 hours – cover with cling wrap if you wish to cover with clothes – this will stop your clothes getting covered with paraffin and maintains the burn. cling wrap alone is also ok if you can’t get hold of any paraffin. it acts as a protective artificial skin – helping retain moisture and protect from further damage and pain. aloe is good coz it remoisturises but that moisture can be quickly lost as the skin can’t contain fluids. so put aloe on, and then the paraffin on over the top. if there is broken skin leave out the aloe – just paraffin.If you can’t seek professional medical treatment, cling wrap is a cheap, clean household item that will provide relief – it keeps fluid in and protects (both functions of healthy skin). put the cling wrap over your burn and cool wet towels should do the trick without further damaging your skin with harmful chemicals. You can secure it or simply change it when it messes up. http://www.doorone.com.au/xGS-Aqueous_Cream~NS-1~linkin_id-8009837http://www.pharmacyonline.com.au/david-craig-paraffin-400g-p-1831.htmlhttp://www.cvs.com/CVSApp/cvs/gateway/detail?prodid=134100&previousURI=/CVSApp/cvs/gateway/search?page=1^Query=White+Petrolatum^ActiveCat=65email if you still have questions – send photos [email protected] if you are really worried go to a hospital that has a burns unit or plastic surgeons. serious sunburn i.e. blisters (and all other burns) should be seen by a burns trained doctor or nurse.

Should I pop a burn blister or let it pop on it’s own?
