What should I do with it?

Please tell me you've thrown the offending oven gloves out

Just get someone else to do it!!
I don't think I washed up for weeks when I had blisters on my finger*s*.
We nearly ran out of crockery.

Washing up is one of the big hazards to the blister now that it has burst. The manky water gets inside under the soggy skin, and it is FULL of nasties. This is when you really need the plaster (changed frequently) and the Marigolds. Keep a close eye on it.

LOL

JackyB... Brilliant!

I'm supposed to be doing something else, but for your joint eddification, I thought I'd list all the suggested blister treatments. My thank you for such an enjoyable thread.

-Hold it under the cold tap until it is completely cooled down, let someone else do the work.
-Acriflex
-Clean dressing
-Just leave it to dry out
-Ice (but this didn't work, apparently)
-Bandage up and keep dry. Takes a long time.
-When skin has regenerated, it is still sensitive and needs extra sunscreen
-Ask your pharmacist
-Broken off aloe vera plant. Apply the sap 2-3 times a day.
-Wear a sling - let others do the work...
-Do not pop it. This hurts more in the long run, and the fluid acts as a disinfectant (I think I understood that somewhere)
-Blister plasters
-Cling film
-Apply Germolene
-On no account apply Germolene.
-Or Savlon
-*Do not* use butter
-Lavender oil
-Honey
-Tincture of Calendula
-Witch hazel
-Sudocream
-Mustard
-Surgical spirit
-Proprietary foam dressings.
-Comfrey Oil
-Paracetamol
-Jump in the sea (preferably the Menai straits)
-Wrap in a lettuce leaf and wrap bandage tightly round it
-Tilapia skin
-Laluset Cream
-A bar of chocolate and a good book
-Swear as much as you like but don't pop it
-Remain "strong and stable" at all times
-Be patient - Skin problems take longer to heal as we get older

And

-Get new oven gloves

Have you got any dressings like this?

You can leave one on for several days. But difficult to get one to fit around a finger. You can keep it in place with a piece of adhesive tape. And you should use rubber gloves, even in the bath/shower.
A tiny dab of Ialuset cream helps healing.
I've had several burns on my hands and fingers, and that's what I do about it (doctor's advice).

Life is all coincidences. Last weekend the grill fell from the roof of the oven onto the back of my hand. I have not had a blister, instead a weeping burn. I put a thick loose plaster over it to keep it clean and dry. If you knock it or get it wet it all starts weeping again. It's very difficult when you are trying to do the usual things but you will have to look after it PHOENIX or it will never heal.

I was advised in A&E when I dropped a chicken casserole on my food,to wrap the burn tightly in cling film to exclude the air. And not to put anything in the way of cream on it. I had put cold wet clean tea towels on it.
The casserole was a write off.

phoenix Mr P.?

The rubber gloves were ready and waiting in position on the draining board, and there they still are........

Not much of a rubber glove user, actually still feeling quite chuffed that I remembered to put the blue ones one before delving around in the compost with the geraniums etc.

Still have a bit of a shudder when planting up a certain annual, awful memory of the look on the face of the assistant at the garden centre when Mr P asked if they had trailing labia...........

Whenever I burn myself I slap on some mustard and leave it to dry, it quickly stops the burning and usually stops blistering.

Actually, I think I would have put a plaster over the holey bit to do the washing up.

I understand that and have been following its progress! But am just wondering why you washed up with the finger unprotected - I think I would have worn Marigolds although I don't usually.

Yes of course Ana, apart from the time when I was a princess and lived deep within the enchanted forest, riding my unicorn and being waited upon by my devoted fairies and elves.

But the size and location of this one has been a right pitfa nuisance.

Yes. Have you never had a blister before?

The new skin is growing under the old skin, phoenix. Just keep it clean and be patient.

Thanks, Jalima

Trouble is, now that it's popped (just washed up, and gently pressed the accumulated washing up water out of it , there's this sort of white, flaccid bit of skin just sort of "there".

Yes, your hands really do sweat in them, yuk!

Disgusting aren't they! I have been wearing some under my gardening gloves - don't know about blisters but it seems to have fetched my nail varnish off.

I believe you - it was the latex gloves wot dunnit.

No, not =, i meant -, ok?

= and painkillers if necessary....

For future reference, I've found comfrey oil is very good to stop blisters forming after similar occurrences....

However, this being too late now, continue with your careful monitoring and management!

Hope it will be healed soon.
