Brief Answer:
? A blister secondary to second degree burn
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your question.
Would it be possible for you to send a photograph of this lesion on your finger? you can add it to the question or
email to YYYY@YYYY for the attention of Dr XXXXXXX Logan.
Blistering can occur with second degree burns and the blister can be filled with blood or broken down blood and may appear brown or red. this may be the explanation to your problem. if this is the case you should leave the blister alone and let the condition run it's course. the skin under the blister is a second degree.
Should heal spontaneously.
