Answers:
Take this info as just that, information!. I can't see your burns and can't make suggestions that make any sort of sense without seeing, touching and getting a more accurate history!. So, just understand my the premise of my advice to be informational, not exactly applicable to u!.

Once your skin is burned, it's highly susceptible to more burns ie, sunburn!. The skin hasn't healed to the point of protection so 1!. The fluid has an easy route back to the epidermis/dermis for blister creation which like already stated, is your body's natural protection!. 2!. You cracked the skin unknowingly and the same affect occurs!. 3!. You flat out burned the same area and the same blister like formations (as in 2nd degree) presents itself!.

Silvadene cream is the cream of choice for all burn!. However, in the later stages of healing, you may uses ointments/or bacitracin for moistening!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Oily burns are tricky; like burns from steam, you could have more than one spot burned and you might not be aware of it until later!. It can freak you out!.

The blister is your body's way of protecting the injured area!. Think of it as a little dome of protection that your body makes until the new skin forms underneath!. Do NOT peel away the blister or you'll end up with an infection and probably a scar!.

Here's a tip that I learned in food service that works very well on burns!. Put mustard on the area! Sounds weird and it stings like crazy, BUT it heals up nicely and doesn't leave a scar!. The vinegar in the mustard has a cleansing effect, apparently!.

Hope this helps!. Happy healing!Www@Answer-Health@Com
