A few weeks ago I was broiling something in the oven. The skillet I'd used to sear it was on TOP of the stove. I was cleaning the kitchen as I cooked and reached for the skillet to clean it. The handle was near the back of the stove and the heat from the broiler made it HOT.AS.HELL.
I burned 4 fingers and yall...it hurt.
I immediately ran cold water over it until it was bearable and The Robinator gave me some Advil and put Neosporin on it. It hurt for days after with two blisters. I kept putting Neosporin on them daily and I let the blisters do their thing. Basically, the liquid you see inside of the blisters is the body's own medicine that helps to heal the skin under the blister. Before long, the blister turned white and got flat and now I'm just waiting for the skin that was around the blister to dry up and come off. This way...I don't have scaring.
I was telling a friend about it and she asked me why didn't I put butter on it and I told her because that's not how you should treat a burn. She shared that's how she always treats it and how her mother treated them as well. I said okay.
How do YOU treat burns and blisters?
