Welcome to Healthcaremagic
Greetings of the day
Dear Mr XXXX

It is fluid filled burn blister. Do not worry it will settle down.
I would suggest you the following
1. Do not rupture or puncture the blister
2. Local Application of Silverex Ionic ointment
3. Injection Tetanus Toxoid 0.5 ml intramuscular in the deltoid region.

Take care
