If you have a burn or scald that requires medical treatment, it'll be assessed to determine the level of care required.One of the great advantages of Spenco Second Skin Blister Pads is that they last up to five days so you don’t have to change it daily. It’s easy to tear the skin again and again each time you change the pad or bandage, but in five days you can have pretty advanced healing so the tearing won’t happen. The Spenco Second Skin Blister pads are 1-1/2 inches by 2-2/5 inches wide, large enough for most foot blisters.

Burns that need medical attention If you start to get a heel blister, simply move the blistered area away from the trauma. You can do this with a heel lift. As new skin grows underneath the blister, your body slowly reabsorbs the fluid in the blister. The skin on top will dry and peel off.

This is known as aspiration and may be carried out on large blisters or blisters that are likely to burst. Repair: The second stage is happening below the surface of your skin. Your cells are working together to fix the damage to your skin by getting rid of damaged tissue to make room for the new skin and tissue to grow. Remodel: The third stage of healing is when your body creates a scar. Your body closes any gaps in your tissue caused by the burn and fills it with collagen, a protein within your skin. Sometimes, your scar is visible and other times, the area where your skin closed together looks natural. A common prescription cream to treat second-degree burns is silver sulfadiazine (Silvadene®). If you have an infected burn, which is a burn that’s extremely painful, swollen and leaks pus, see a healthcare provider. They may prescribe antibiotics to clear the infection from your body.
