A burn blister is a fluid-filled blister that may form as a result of a burn.

A burn blister arises from contact with heat. For example hot tea or coffee, frying oil, a hot engine or simply fire.

A burn blister is a covering of skin that forms over a burnt area of the body to protect it from infection

 

How do you treat a burn blister?

Cooling and keeping clean are the most important ways to treat a burn blister.

Don't pop the blister as it will increase the chances of infection.

 

- run the burn under cool water for 10 minutes

- gently pat the burn dry with a clean cloth or paper towel

- cover the burn with a sterile, nonstick dressing to prevent infection

- Apply Use ALHYDRAN cream

ALHYDRAN rehydrates the skin on and around the burn blister. As a result it heals quicker and the chance of retaining a scar is very small. Use ALHYDRAN when the skin has healed and closed, or on closed sections.
