Question
I got a blister on my foot after a burn, and it’s been over a month. I’ve previously used iodine tincture for disinfection, and the scab has formed and fallen off. How should I handle the current situation? Do I need to see a doctor again?
Answer
Based on the description, the patient has a burn on their foot that has resulted in a blister. It’s important to note if the burn area is red, swollen, or painful. It is recommended to apply Meibao medicine. Under the current circumstances, since the burn has been recent, it’s advisable not to rush to pierce the blister to prevent infection. After a few days, if there are no signs of infection, you can consider draining the blister fluid. This may be a superficial second-degree burn. The wound has now healed, and no special treatment is needed.
