| Dear resourceful ladies, can you please give me advice on treating my second-degree burn? I was cooking last night and scalding hot oil splashed on me. It hurt at first but no open wound so I applied PSF O2 serum and thought nothing of it. This morning, I wake up to a blister about 1 inch in diameter. It is very tender to the touch and looks horrible, but my gut instinct tells me not to pop it. It's on an odd place (my tummy, right below my belly button) and I'm afraid my jeans might pop it sooner or later. What should I do once it pops, and how long should i expect it to heal? I've never gotten burned like this before so i'm pretty clueless. TIA! |

| When I was a professional chef, I would get big burns all the time. The best method I found that healed the wound quickly and helped minimize the scar is to keep the wound covered and moist. Apply lots of antibiotic ointment on it and cover it with a bandaid. Hope it heals quickly! |

| I second the pure lavender oil. It is a must-have in the kitchen cabinet. |

| I second the aloe vera. I think you should put a bandaid over it (if it pops). I hope you get better soon. |

| I can't offer better advice than you have already gotten here. I just wanted to say that I am sorry that happened to you and I hope your pain is under control and you don't get a scar. Best wishes! |

| Make sure you get the non-stick bandaids, or you will have a scar! I agree on the aloe. |

Lavender oil, check. Aloe, check. Polysporin, check. Non-stick bandaids, check. The blister has yet to pop (sorry, gross), but i'm all set when it does. Thank you ladies, i know i can always count on EDS.  |

| This is a tip for once the blister has formed a scab... MASSAGE! use good rosehip oil to massage as often as possible to reduce the colour and size of the scar. I had a second-degree ironing burn on my hand which formed a scar that would turn purple/black when it was cold, and I was lazy to do anything about it until it got very unsightly. Then I religiously massaged the area with rosehip oil for a few weeks and it is almost non existent - had I started when the scar was fresh, the healing would have been much faster. |
