Answers:
first cool down the area by running it under cool water for 15 minutes.. whatever you do dont pop the blister!!! it could get infected.. if you have aloe vara (sunburn stuff) rub some of that on there.. it should help with the pain and swelling.. if it still hurts ice it every few minutes for an hour.. if the blister has already poped on its own then get pure saline sulution (mild salt water solution found near contact section) and rinse it out.. try not to use alcohol (painful) or hydrogen pyroxoide (can kill skin cells) unless use popes the blister on a dirty surface.. keeped wrapped in clean bandages and was out with ssaline.. this will promote healing and help prevent scar tissueHealth Question & Answer

you need to keep it under running water for longer than you think.. I would say at least 15 minutes.. That should cool the burn enough.. Make sure you keep the blister covered, clean and dry (once finished with the running water).. Don't pop the blister yourself, it will pop on its own.. Once it pops, make sure you keep antibacterial ointment on it (neosporin etc..) to prevent infection.. It should be completely healed in a little over a week..Health Question & Answer

Well, take a pain reliever like motrin or tylenol, you can hold it under cool water but don't put ice directly on it, and then you could put some neosporin with painrelief on it........it should stop hurting in about 45 min........it sucks but that's the best you can do!Health Question & Answer
