What Causes A Blister At The Wound Site?
Question: I cut my finger a week ago with a potato peeler. I went to urgent care and they cauterized the wound. The pain has been excruciating and unrelenting. Today, I am noticing a small blister-like growth in the center of the wound. I've had polysporin on it and have kept it covered consistently. Is the blister and pain something to be concerned about?
Brief Answer:
Blister has to be ruptured.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Blister present over the wound has to be ruptured.I prefer to apply Povidone iodine ointment rather than Powder.
Pain.may be due to damaged nerve endings following trauma.
Hope you are using Antibiotic and anti inflammatory tablets.If you are not using them,please consult your doctor and get appropriate prescription.
Nothing to worry.
Keep the wound covered with dressing.
Wish you speedy recovery.
