How to deal with blisters from a burn when there is no burn ointment available
After a burn causes blisters, it indicates that the burn is quite severe. If you don’t have burn ointment, there are two other methods that can be adopted.
The first method is applicable if the blister is small and contains little fluid. You can protect the blister from infection by thoroughly disinfecting the area and then covering it with sterile gauze to wait for the blister to be absorbed.
If the blister is large and filled with significant fluid, you can use a needle to drain it or make a small incision at its lowest point to let the fluid out. Then, thoroughly disinfect the area and cover it with a sterile gauze pad. You can wait for the fluid to be absorbed as much as possible while preventing infection. Avoid contacting the burn with water to protect the area and prevent secondary infection.
