How long does it take for a baby's blistered hand to heal?

Patient's question:

My baby is 3 years old this year. While eating, he accidentally spilled the food, and it was still a bit hot at the time, so his hand got blistered. I want to ask the doctor how many days it will take for the blisters on his hand to heal?

Doctor's answer:

This is a mild burn. It usually heals within about a week without leaving scars. You can apply some burn cream or similar products on the baby to enhance care, avoiding getting it wet or damp. Typically, maintaining a balanced diet, paying attention to appropriate temperatures, not overeating, and drinking enough water are important. Additionally, gently massaging the abdomen with a mild technique can promote digestion and absorption. Blisters can be pierced with a sterile needle to drain the fluid but do not remove the blister skin. It is important to keep the skin clean at all times.
