Skin burns .

I burnt my hand on a wok on Wednesday . When I woke up Thursday morning it was a huge blister . I had to work last night and it's a very physical job which I wear gloves for so I covered it with a blister plaster to do my shift . It's burst half way through my shift. So I've removed the plaster and let it dry because it being wet is so sore .
Does anyone have any advice on what I can do . It's really quite painful .

It’s just hard to say from that photo but I had a burn similarish on my hand. Long story short I worked in a health centre with an MIU nurse and I wasn’t sent to the nearest acute burns unit because it was on the back of my hand. They said if it was on a joint I would have had to go. Yours looks like it’s on a joint? I’d go to an MIU or ED hope you feel better soon

I would suggest you get that looked at by minor injuries or failing that A&E it’s quite a large burn and in a tricky place.
