Suggest Remedies For Blisters On Foot Caused By Pouring Hot Water
Question: poured boiling water onfoot 2 days ago. some blisters broken - others remain. have been treating with burn wash and bacitracin and wrapped with sterile dressing.should i break remaining blisters? anything else?
Brief Answer:
Dont puncture the blisters
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern
The blisters should not be broken or punctured unless they are large or painful. The fluid-filled blisters keep the skin clean preventing infections which can halt healing.
Continue the topical burn wash , bacitracin and sterile dressings.
Wishing you best of health
