Patient's question:
It has been more than a month since it happened. Before, my foot was burned and developed a blister. After piercing it, I used povidone-iodine disinfectant. Then, after more than a month, the wound healed and formed a scar, which I then removed. Now it looks like this. Should I go to a medical clinic to see a doctor?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, the patient has a history of scalding with boiling water, with the formation of blisters. It is important to pay attention to whether the scalded area is swollen, painful, etc. Meibao can be applied. In the current situation, since the patient has just been scalded, it is recommended not to be too anxious to burst the blisters to avoid infection. You can use Meibao externally first. A few days later, if the wound does not become infected, then the liquid in the blisters can be drained. This should be a superficial second-degree burn. Currently, the wound has healed, and no special treatment is needed.
