Patient's question:
The blisters on my brother's hand aren't from burns, but they do have a burning sensation. Do I need to take him to the hospital for treatment? If so, how long will the treatment take? Please help me, thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hello, first of all, don't worry too much. In cases like this, if it's not very serious, it usually absorbs on its own. Applying some burn cream appropriately can help. During this period, you must avoid eating ginger or garlic.If there are no blisters-like rashes caused by the burn, it might be a change due to herpes virus infection. In that case, you can use acyclovir ointment for topical antiviral treatment.
Additionally, avoid scratching your clothes. If the skin breaks, you'll need to clean it with povidone-iodine solution to reduce inflammation and prevent secondary infection.
