I immediately ran cold water on it and try to keep it clean. Anything more that I can do? Should I pop the blister? I've heard mixed reviews about that... Pop it with a rusty nail. Then sand it down.

Dome Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I've heard you're not supposed to pop blisters too, but I always do and have never had any issues. Is it an infection thing? Or does it just heal better if left alone? @LETSGOBROWNIES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dome Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Also burns suck. I'd take a cut/scrape/nasty bruise over a burn any day of the week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't pop it the skin is still doing it's job of protection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, the first thing we'd do with any burn would be to pop the blister and cut away the skin. Of course those are larger burns and will be monitored by folks who know how to treat them. Generally it won't make much of a difference as long as you keep the area clean, but in most cases leaving it alone will limit the chance of infection.

I will continue treating my burns by popping the blister, cause infection isn't real. Y'all got the wool pulled over your eyes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Csonka Trucks Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 The USS Cole was docked in Connecticut this weekend. Got to tour it. That was pretty cool. Never been on an active warship before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
