Question
My baby accidentally burned their hand while drinking water, and there are many blisters on it. I don’t know how to treat these blisters, but they’re not severe. What are the methods for treating blisters from minor burns?
Answer
Blisters that form on fingers after a burn are due to increased subcutaneous leakage. Generally, it is not recommended to puncture the blisters. For this condition, you can apply a moist burn ointment to the burn area, maintain moisture, and use an antibiotic cream topically to prevent infection. Over time, the exudate will gradually be absorbed. If there are symptoms such as itching or discomfort, other medications can be used to relieve the symptoms.
