My son's foot was scalded by hot water and has blisters.

Patient's question:

Heavens, the blisters on his feet are six times bigger than black beans. Applying the burn ointment didn't work. Now, can he apply honey and menthol? Can it fade the blisters?
Previous treatment and effectiveness:
Didn't care about it.
Help needed:
What methods can fade the blisters?

Doctor's answer:

Blisters caused by burns need to be drained, otherwise they are prone to inflammation and infection, and they can also interfere with the healing process of the wound and hinder its complete recovery. For small blisters, use a sterile needle to puncture them at a low angle and let the fluid drain out. For large blisters, use sterile scissors to make an incision and let the fluid drain out. After draining the blisters, do not cut off the skin over the blister, and especially do not it with your hands. The skin over the blister helps protect the wound and prevents infection and inflammation.
