Question
My baby is 3 years old. They accidentally spilled some hot rice while eating, and as a result, their hand got burned and blistered. I would like to ask the doctor, how long will it take for the blisters to heal?
Answer
This is a mild burn. Generally, it takes about a week for the blisters to heal without scarring. It is recommended to apply some burn ointment and enhance care for the baby, avoiding moisture and dampness. The blisters can be punctured with a sterilized needle to release the fluid, but do not peel off the blister skin. Keep the skin clean and hygienic at all times.
