1. How to deal with burns and blisters on fingers

1. For fingers that are blistered after being burned, you must keep a clear head at the first time and do not panic. You can first get a basin of cold water and soak the scalded hand in the water. First, it can relieve the pain in the fingers caused by the burn, and second, it can cool down the burned fingers. This way, the heat in the skin that has not yet dissipated can be dissipated through cooling with cold water.

2. After soaking your fingers for a while and feeling the pain slightly relieved, wipe off the water on your fingers with a towel, wait for them to dry slightly, apply some comfrey oil or comfrey flower ointment, and then evenly apply the burn ointment on the scalded fingers. Be careful not to wrap your fingers after application, and keep the burned area exposed. Apply the burn ointment every few hours to continuously help kill bacteria and reduce inflammation in the affected area.

3. After applying the burn ointment, do not let your fingers touch water, contaminants, or forcefully. Wait for the blisters to shrink and dry up on their own, then dry them with a sterilized cotton ball or gauze, and apply anti-inflammatory ointment. After a few days of use, you will find that the swelling on the burned area has significantly subsided. If you persist in disinfection and applying ointment, the burned fingers will heal quickly, and no scars will be left to affect the appearance.

2. How to reduce swelling after finger burn

After finger burns, patients should soak their hands in normal saline or edible salt water to reduce inflammation and swelling. They can also apply egg white to the affected area to cool it down, apply honey evenly on the affected area, or apply burn medicine to the affected area. However, it should be noted that you should not apply anything to the area where there are pustules. The affected area should be kept clean. Since blisters will form on the affected area after burns, patients must not puncture it to prevent infection.

3. When to go to the hospital for finger burns

If the burn area is relatively large, the affected area needs to be cooled and bandaged, and the patient should go to the hospital for regular treatment in time. The patient must not leave it alone to avoid infection of the affected area and tetanus. Once tetanus occurs, it is likely to cause the patient to die from the infection. Therefore, the harm can be great or small. Patients must pay attention and not blindly treat themselves.

If the burns are severe, or even adhesions have occurred between the fingers, you should go to the hospital for regular surgery in time to separate the adhesions. If necessary, plastic surgery is also required to restore the basic shape of the hand.
