Question
My one-year-old baby was scalded by hot water. Can the blisters be popped?
Answer
Burns are common accidental injuries, usually caused by contact with high-temperature objects or liquids, resulting in tissue damage. Burns are categorized into three degrees, with blisters indicating a second-degree burn. If the blisters are small and do not require special treatment, they typically absorb and disappear on their own within about a week.
