Burns is a serious injury to the body. Tissues are damaged by heat, chemicals, radiation or any other means. Fire is the most common cause of burn blisters. Burns depend upon the area of the body and the degree of the tissues affected. Deeper burns are more serious and are difficult to treat.
Blisters are superficial burns causing liquid filled bulb formation on the surface of the skin usually the fluid is sterile until one tries to break it open. Area of the burn is very important as the general condition of the patient depends upon it.
First Aid For Burn Blisters
Affected area of the burn should be immediately placed under the steady flow of the cold water for at least 10 to 15 minutes as this helps in reducing the heat and relieving burning sensation locally and the pain is reduced due to it.
If the blisters are formed, one should not try to open it as the fluid inside is sterile and is not prone to infection unless it’s open.
