Hello,

As per my clinical experience, seems to be second degree superficial or deep burns. Additional measures for better recovery:
- Local application of calamine lotion 3 times a day
- Avoid exposure to direct or excess sunlight
- Prescription of antibiotic as amoxycillin or mox-clav, anti-inflammatory as serratiopeptidase with diclofenac
- Multi vitamins, minerals, anti oxidant tablets
- Control of blood sugar
- Avoid pricking or puncturing the blisters (which may flare inflammation or cause secondary bacterial infection)
- Balanced nutritious diet

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
