Some of the burnt bits on my leg seem to be blistering a bit.

Should I maybe put a non adhesive dressing on them to stop them getting rubbed by thighs trousers? Or just leave them to breathe and sit around half naked

I spilt a pan of boiling water - my wrists and arms are really bad today and my wrist just gave way, most of it went on the floor, but some splashed all over me - mainly the tops of my thighs, my feet and my tummy - not big burns, about the size of a finger nail most of them, but some seem to be blistering a little

What have you done???? I'd leave them exposed to the air as much as possible. If they are blisters, then they will be protected from infection anyway.

Have you any lavender oil to put on them - it's wonderful

littlelamb · 26/04/2009 18:14

You are the winehouse. I knew it

differentID · 26/04/2009 18:14

please tell us you at least visited a+e?

FluffyBunnyGoneBad · 26/04/2009 18:14

Oh dear Did you run them under cold water for 10 mins?

You need antibiotics for 2nd degree burns. Pop to A&E they will look/treat/prescribe.

FluffyBunnyGoneBad · 26/04/2009 18:15

Don't put anything on them! Please.

Saltire · 26/04/2009 18:16

Yes, I did run them under cold water, at least 15 minutes. There's not a lot of them and they aren't as big as the one shown in that picture. TBH I think my jeans got most of the water. There's maybe about 4/5 of them

If they are not too big then cover them with a melonin dressing and pop to see the practice nurse tomorrow. Have a poke of the skin around the burn (no on the burn), pop to A&E if you can't feel anything.

Saltire · 26/04/2009 19:42

I have covered them with some Melolin, will see wha tthey are like tomorrow. I won't can see the practice nurse at my place, you have to make appts weeks in advance, but the pharmacist at work might can advise something

I used aloe vera (staright from plant) when I did similar last year.
But that was only on my arm.
