How to deal with blisters? Reveal the whole process

Many people often get blisters on their bodies due to burns for some reasons. The blisters must be cleaned as soon as possible, otherwise they may cause infection. They must be disinfected when the blisters mature, the epidermis begins to turn yellow, and begins to expand. You must be particularly careful in handling blisters, as improper handling may cause infection.

Tools/Raw Materials

Cotton swab, medical alcohol, needle, anti-inflammatory ointment, gauze

Methods/Steps

First, prepare medical cotton swabs and 75% medical alcohol. Take two cotton swabs, dip one in alcohol and gently scrub around the blisters. Use the other cotton swab to wipe around the scrubbed blisters again to absorb excess alcohol so that you can see clearly around the blisters. At this time, the disinfection of the blisters is completed.

The first step is to pierce

Take a needle, a household sewing needle will do, place one end of the needle above the lighter, warm it with fire, then wipe the needle with medical gauze. This will sterilize the needle.

Step 2 Cleanup

Use a clean needle to make a small hole on one edge of the blister. Be sure to puncture the area at the very edge. If you puncture the middle of the blister, only a small portion of the liquid in the blister can be squeezed out, and the rest will flow around the punctured hole and cannot be squeezed out at all.

Gently squeeze the edge of the other side of the blister hole. The liquid in the blister will flow out from the small hole. At this time, use medical cotton to wipe off the flowing liquid.

Step 3 Bandaging

After squeezing out the liquid in the blisters, apply disinfectant or anti-inflammatory ointment evenly on the blisters. Be careful when applying it at this time, because the skin on the blisters where the liquid has been squeezed out is very fragile and can be easily torn.

Finally, wrap the blister with medical gauze and tie it gently on the outermost layer. Check the gauze frequently. If fluid is still accumulating in the blister, continue to squeeze out the fluid. The next step is to allow the wound to be ventilated and dry, so that it can recover faster.
