What to do and what not to do with a blister
As soon as a small bubble swells after a burn, you should determine the extent of the damage and act quickly: further damage and healing time depend on this.
What not to do:
- Leave the wound unattended. When burned with boiling water, the skin is deeply damaged, and even after treatment the epithelium continues to deteriorate. If the burn part swells, it should be washed with cold water.
- Coat the surface with oil. Damage to the delicate skin on the lips, hands or feet continues after injury because heat penetrates. Oil or fat clogs the pores, and instead of relieving pain, it makes it worse. Even natural sea buckthorn extract will be harmful when processed and can cause you to get burned again.
- Use alcohol. It is forbidden to smear the burn spot with cologne, iodine or brilliant green. Alcohol-containing products irritate the skin and draw out the last moisture from it.
- Rub the damage with gauze. Touching the skin with bandages or cotton can cause secondary formation, and with a severe burn, the epithelium can be accidentally torn off - then the wound takes more than two weeks to heal.
- Apply urine. Urine contains corticosteroid hormones, which have an anti-inflammatory effect, but their amount is only 0.02% of the total composition, and there are much more pathogenic substances. Using urine according to the traditional method will not help cure the wound, but it will cause inflammation.
- Open the blister. The damaged surface becomes susceptible to bacteria and infection. If you puncture a bubble containing liquid, there is a risk of skin infection. Regeneration of cells under the bladder occurs faster than without it, and the scar heals without complications.
If you are burned by steam, consult a doctor. You cannot touch the skin with your hands or apply Levomekol or Panthenol yourself. If the face is damaged by hot water or gas, first aid at home is a large amount of ice, especially if the burn is on a small child.
For first-degree damage on the palm or heel, the blister goes away on its own after three days. It is necessary to change sterile dressings every day and use healing creams - this way healing proceeds faster.
In the second degree, you should undergo treatment with medications to prevent the skin from swelling. The main condition that allows you to remove the blister: sterile dressings - they will protect the epithelium and will not allow the blister to break through.
What should you not do?
If blisters appear, it is important to adhere to the following rules :
- If the affected area does not touch clothing, it is better not to cover the blister with a band-aid - this way the blister will heal much faster.

- Wipe your smartphone with a damp cloth. You can use a special liquid to care for screens. If it is not there, use any alcohol composition.
- Wipe the device with a dry cloth.
- Peel the tape off the glass and apply it to the screen.
