Number one thing not to do is pick at it, if you leave the blisters alone til the skin underneath heels it will not get infected, that is the major cause of scarring.. Cold water compresses help with the pain without causing further pain, vinegar will help take out some of the pain, but can be a little painful itself.. The best thing to do, is to start learning to wear sunscreen.. I am not talking lightly as I have been there and done that, fortunately at the age of 74 I am most lucky not to look like a prune, I have been burned several times till I looked like a lobster, so try some of these things and see if it will help take that pain out..Health Question & Answer
I had a burn like that on my back and shoulders a few weeks ago.. My suggestion is to take a warm shower to get the burn out and put aloe vera on your burn.. I also hear that vinegar gets the burn out quickly.. My burn went away after about a week and there were no scars.. Your skin will probably shed off after four to five days..Health Question & Answer
Aloe usually helps but if your blistering, you may want to go to a dermatologist..

I have been told that a rag soaked in vinager will take the burn out.. Place the rag on burn and leave it until the rag is dry.. Not sure about using it on your face though.. Might test a small area first.. As far as scaring it could possibly, hopefully not to bad.. Good LuckHealth Question & Answer
