Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
My son, who is 2.7 years old, met with a burn injury. Today afternoon, he kept his hand over a hot cooker and got injured. We applied toothpaste immediately and some powder to reduce the burning sensation. Now, after four hours, it has become like a boil. I have attached the image for your reference.
Please suggest some ointment.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern. I have seen the picture as well (attachment removed to protect patient identity).
1. A blister has been formed, which needs to be punctured and then it will heal quickly. I suggest you to consult a surgeon.
2. You can apply Silver Sulfadiazine cream (Silvadene) over the ruptured blister twice daily.
3. Maintain hygiene and keep it clean.
