Applied Burnol After Burning, Blister Appeared, Mild Pain,

Hi, I got burnt from motorcycle silencer day before yesterday...its about 3 inches in diameter Cure till now- I put it under water immediately after I got burnt for around 5-10 minutes. Then applied burnol cream on it. Since then, I m applying burnol regularly on it. Today morning I found a blister developing on it...and now I m not sure what should I be doing with this... Its not very painful...and blister is also not yet developed on whole of the burnt area... Please suggest what can I do..?? I m scared to even touch it as it may burst the blister...

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
It is best not to burst the blister. Along with burnol, you need to apply a local antiseptic cream on the area too like neosporin. You need to take a tetanus shot and start taking a systemic antibiotic to avoid any infection after consulting your physician. Keep the area open and do daily aseptic dressing with paraffin gauge.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
