"What are the categories of burns?\n\nThe categories of burns and their treatment very much depend on the depth, area and location of the burn. Burn depth is generally categorized as first, second or third degree. A first degree burn is superficial and has similar characteristics to a typical sun burn. The skin is red in color and sensation is intact. In fact, it is usually somewhat painful. Second degree burns look similar to the first degree burns; however, the damage is now severe enough to cause blistering of the skin and the pain is usually somewhat more intense. In third degree burns the damage has progressed to the point of skin death. The skin is white and without sensation.\n\nRegardless of the type of burn, the result is fluid accumulation and inflammation in and around the wound. Moreover, it should be noted that the skin is the body's first defense against infection by microorganisms. Damage to the skin can predispose the burn victim to both infection at the site of the wound as well as internally."\n\nDo not break the blister if at all possible. the blister helps to prevent infection from occuring. It also helps to protect the new skin while it is forming. As you read the information above that talks about the types of burns, the only burn that does not hurt is 3rd degree. This is because all of the nerve endings have been destroyed. Then once the blister has broken on its own, use  triple antibiotic ointment and a sterile dressing. Then watch for signs of infections: redness, swelling, drainage, fever. If any of those occur either call your doctor or go into your local urgent care.

You just cant walk on your feet anymore without protection. Dont wear binding shoes. Wear loose, air flowing shoes to dry those suckers out! I think you should just see the Doc. because if it is worst case scenerio, then you might have a reaccurring infection that can lead to other problems. Dont pop em, because if they are the size of quarters, it'll hurt like hell! They do prescribe ointments that dry out the skin, relieve pain. I d go for the flip flops and try not to pressure your blisters. Sounds painful, but I hope your pain free!

severe heat or strong acid/base will burn them right off.  Anything that leaves a scar will alter them.

Make sure she keeps it CLEAN AND DRY. \n\nWASH it daily with Antibacterial Soap. \n\nKeep it covered until the blister POPS on it's own! \n\nDO NOT POP THE BLISTER!!! \n\nIf she wants to, put OINTMENT FOR BURNS ON IT!\n\nDO NOT PUT BUTTER/CRISCO OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT ON IT!!!\n\nMy 14 yr old daughter is still recovering from a second degree burn on her leg.\n\n\nDefinitions: \n\n1st degree burn......is a superficial, reddened area of skin like a sunburn. \n\n2nd degree burn.....is a blistered injury site which may heal spontaneously after the blister fluid has bee removed. \n\n3rd degree burn......is a burn through the entire skin and will usually require surgical intervention for wound healing. \n\nScald........................May occur from scalding hot water, grease or radiator fluid. \n\nThermal.............….May occur from flames, usually deep burns. \n\nChemical............….May come from acid and alkali, usually deep burns. \n\nElectrical.................Either low voltage around a house or high voltage at work \n\nExplosion Flash......Usually superficial injuries. \n\nContact Burns........Usually deep and may occur from muffler tail pipes, hot irons and stoves. \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nGeneral Information: \n2 million people in the U.S. each year are treated for burn injuries. \n100,000 of these patients require hospitalization \nInitial Assessment: \nDid the burn occur in an open or closed environment. A closed environment may be an indicator to look for pulmonary problems. \nWhat was the time and circumstances of the burn? \nAre there any other concomitant injuries? \nAre there changes in sensorium? \nTreatment Goals: \nSuperficial burns heal spontaneously within the first two weeks. Treatment consists of pain relief and topical wound care to relieve pain and prevent infection. \nDeeper burns will not heal within 2 weeks and may require surgical intervention and should be cared for by a surgical specialist. \nThe goal of burn care is to prevent infection and obtain a closed injury site. This may be accomplished in minor wounds by applying topical antibacterial creams. A minor wound may also respond well to non-adherent guaze such as vaseline impregnated gauze. \nPrinciples of wound care include: preventing desiccation (drying) and preventing infection. Large wounds may require attention to nutritional support, pain relief, inhalation injuries and hospitalization. \nWhen a burn occurs, the initial therapy should include cooling of the burn injury site. After that, treatment should be rendered by the appropriate family practitioner or regional burn center. \nConsider fluid administration - Lactated Ringer's solution. You want a urinary output of 30 - 50 cc's. \nTetanus Toxoid booster \n3rd degree burns should be treated with topical antibacterial agents and surgical therapy should be contemplated. \nLaboratory Data \nBaseline CBC \nUrine analysis \nSerum electrolytes \nArterial blood gas \nCarboxyhemoglobin levels \nChest x-ray/ other x-ray

It is hard to diagnose this, with this little bit of information. It appears that it is a blister. It may have been caused by a burn that you were unaware of, insect bite, allergic reaction to something you contacted or a wide variety of other possibilities. The fact that it is a water filled blister, tells me that the immune response is intact. This is the bodys way of forming, if you will, a protective padded bandaide. This fluid filled sack prevents harmful invaders, like dirt and germs to enter the damaged tissue. It also works to heal. The fluid is filled with many healing substances, that come to the rescue of the damaged tissue. The danger is when the blister is broken. One should never deliberately break a blister. However, if the blister breaks, one should keep the area clean and protected. Neosporin is a good antibiotic ointment to would very similar to the bodys response. It will prevent infection and promote healing. Cover the area with a sterile bandage. You never want to put a dry bandage on a seeping wound, because the fluid will dry on the badage and then pull the healed tissue off when you remove the bandage. If you have done this, soak the wound & bandage in clean & warm water for 20 minutes, then slowly remove the bandage, it should come off without pain or damage. Look for signs and or symptoms of infeaction. Reddness, swelling, pain, green drainage, increased warmth to area or unexplained fever. If the wound gets worse each day, or it not showing signs of healing with a week or 10 days. If there is any loss of functioning, like numbness, etc ...seek medical assistance at once.

apply almost unbearably hot compresses for 15 Min's four times per day.  cover with bandage with antibiotic ointment in between compresses.  If red irritation gets bigger then 50 cent piece...time to see doc.

If it is blood blister then it is OK.\n\nAny time a mark increases in size it is a time to run to a doctor.\n\nIf even the blood blister increses in size, then it must also be checked out by a doctor.\n\nMy answer is run to a Doctor let him look at it, he can cut it open and clean it out.

There's really no preventing blisters from swinging bars.  If you have light bar workouts, it's easier to avoid blisters but If you're on bars as much as most competing gymnasts are, you're destined to rip.  \n\nChalk isn't used to prevent blisters.  It's used to keep your hands from getting sweaty and slippery but unfortunately it also dries your hands out and makes them blister and rip.    \n\nGrips are to help you hold onto the bar.  On the one hand, wearing grips will make it less likely that you'll get rips on your hands, what tends to happen is you get rips on your wrists instead.  On another note, watering your grips like you see the athletes on TV doing shortens the life of your grips.

My mom always called them blood blisters. Anyway, I had them all over. Went to my dermatologist. She used a laser and removed them all. It was fabulous. Wished I had done that years ago. Only took about 15 minutes, and really was\nnot painful. I had several large ones on my neck. It looks \ngreat. No scars or anything, and really wasn't expensive.

No, probably don't need to go to the Dr. unless they are really bad.  Are they?  You didn't say what caused them either.  Keep them clean and dry.  Do not pop them, they will pop on their own, when they are healed enough.  If it looks like they might be getting infected you should probably go to the Dr.  If they are pretty bad, you should go to a Dr.  If they are small and pop and aren't ready to pop, then you need to treat with antibiotic cream and keep them clean.  Might try some gauze...\nHow bad are they?

Rub Lavender oil on the burn a couple of times & again before bed & it will be better by morning without blistering or peeling it's great for burns of all kinds, good luck.

Depends on the severity of the burn. For a mild burn use just Aloe. If it a rather serious burn, I suggest ibuprofen and that you place wet tea bags on the burn for at least 30 minutes. Rinse gently with leuk warm water and then glaze with aloe. Wear cool loose clothing and do NOT bandage the burn!!!

wash off the blister in slow,  warm, soapy water, rinse off and  pat dry then put some Neosporin antibacterial onitment on it        (you can get at Wal-Mart in bandade section), then cover with a bandade   (Nexcare Bandages, the clear waterproof kind are the best for staying in place,and stopping the pain)\nNext, just leave it on for a day, then before you go to bed the next night take off the bandaid so that the wound can heal and form a scab.\n\nThe other blister that formed should reabsorb, if not, keep the bandade on it so that if it does pop, it won't hurt as bad.\n\nHope this helps!

Yes, that is very painful. I recommend Ben Gay or Icy hot and moist heat. If it is very painful I recommend an anti inflammatory such as alieve or ibuprophen
