Burn |
|
Dear Ask The Doctor: I have a burn that has blistered on the top of my hand. Should I pop this blister or let it pop on it's own? Dear Brandon: You may remove the blister but this should be done with a sterile instrument to reduce the risk of developing an infection. If the blister is not removed the fluid within may become infected and form an abscess which will require surgical drainage and a course of antibiotics. |
