What should I do with it?

Strictly NO CREAM. Just clean and dry.

Keep covered with clean wound dressing. I use Sudocrem but must try acriflex. Very difficult place to keep dry & clean though. Hope it heals soon. I take ages to heal these days.

If it is still bothering you go and see your local pharmacist who will be able to advise you.

Aloevera plant (the jelly like and slimy flesh of the leaves when you slice it) has been our favourite remedy whenever we got burnt while cooking. We just cover the burnt area with the slime and repeat a couple of times during the day. In our experience it stopped the burn from turning into a blister. We therefore keep aloevera plant on our kitchen window sill. It doesn't need much looking after because it is a succulant plant, it doesn't need much watering. Sorry that this doesn't help your present problem, Phoenix, but I hope it got sorted/healed soon. And I do agrre with the others...do not burst the blister.

A nice big bandage should ensure that your wound has time to heal, you will not be able to wash up or do anything boring.......I could hang that out for a fortnight of martyrdom.

Never pop a blister,ice and cold water the best things but it takes ages to cool a burn down, I shall buy some Acfriflex now I had forgotten that stuff but living alone have struggled with the Aloe vera plant in times of need.........

I find sitting with my feet up, good book and bar of chocolate helps with practiclly everything, nice holiday brochure can rive useful.......tell your OH I said so.

I have foundthat a compress of tincture of Calendula is absolutely magic for burns.
The pain goes away almost instantly and it heals extremely quickly. Worth a try?
I discovered that when i had cleverly dipped two fingers into an urn of boiling water!

It seems to be going down, slightly & slowly.

Still managing to keep it un popped!

Don't pop (though you can continue with the expletives if you feel the need!), try to leave it be. Good advice to see the pharmacist too. Good luck!

If you have a local minor injuries unit let them look at it. You don't need an appointment but take a book as you may have to sit and wait a while.They will dress it for you.I was also given a takeaway pack to continue the treatment as these small blisters can get infected so better be safe than sorry.

Have you chucked out the oven gloves yet?

Witch hazel gel is magic on burns, if used straight away it stops the stinging and blistering. Applied to the blister it will aid in drying it up more quickly.

buy some blister plasters they seem to pull the liquid out of the blister without breaking the skin.You'll get them in Boots

Acriflex is brilliant. I always keep a tube in the kitchen

I'm a First Aider and can tell you definitely do not pop it. I'm assuming you didn't run it under the cold tap for 5-10 mins, which might have reduced the formation of the blister.

Best to cover it in clingfilm and wait for it to go down.

My daughter uses cling film wrapped tightly round a burn as soon as it happens and the lack of oxygen seems to prevent the burn from developing.

Phoenix, you made me laugh!

Glad to hear it wot

Being in a rural location means minor injuries units are a fair distance away, Sarah,

cosafina I did put it under the tap for a while, but probably not long enough, as once I had finished hopping and swearing, I really just wanted to get the bloody dinner dished up and eaten!

Lavender oil works well on blisters!

As a young teen I got a kettle of boiling water over my bare feet ?
The man I was with in his misguided wisdom covered my feet in butter and wrapped then in a clean t-shirt. Needless to say my feet are a bit of a mess. Especially thin skin and can be sore in the summer.
Good luck with your blister ?

Hope its clearing up now Phoenix, it wasn't your nose picking finger was it?

Exactly what Elegran said.
Icy water and Acriflex.
I even take Acriflex on holiday.
I don't seem to be able to get through a Sunday without a couple of burns from the oven shelves.

Oh yuk, christinefrance!

wish l had known not to put anything on it. l scalded my arm with steam from the kettle, applied savelon & a dressing, changed it every day & it still had pus coming out 8 days later. l am now on anti biotics cos its infected.

A blister forms to protect the skin underneath. It is natures way of sorting things out and repairing the damage.
If left alone, and protected, the fluid is reabsorbed and the area will heal completely.
Never burst a blister.
Poor You. ?.

don't know how l can have shower without getting my arm wet, unless l cling film my arm, any ideas are welcome, lm seeing the nurse again tomoro but not until 3pm
