Get them cleaned out and bandaged good and for god sakes keep them clean. The skin underneath is very vulnerable to infection.

NEVER EVER pop blisters when you are burned, for one your inferring with your body trying to heal itself, two your greatly increasing your chance of infection!!!! Whenever you have a blister after a burn you should seek medical attention. That could mean that it could be a partial thickness (second degree) burn. If this burn covers an large area of any limb, large section of the chest/neck/face, or more than one region, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. Including if a great area of your hands is affected. Never use any ointment that is oil based, and never sugar. These things can seal in the heat on your skin, making it worse. You can run the burn under cool not cold water.

dee is right. You have a second degree burn. You should have not pop the blister out to keep the fluid in until its time. Nature knows how to heal itself. Nevertheless, just keep it clean and use burn creams to cover the burn and to prevent infection. If it involves a large portion of your hands specially your fingerjoints, better have a doctor see it . The contracture that may follow could be crippling. Proper burn management can prevent debilitating consequences.

I usually pop them on purpose. Put some hydrogen peroxide on it and if you have an aloe plant, the sap will make it heal very fast. If not, any type of healing cream will be ok. I would only cover it with some kind of bandage if the skin kept tearing off, it will heal faster in the air so it can dry up.

Ouch. Its not pus. Avoid popping the blisters - they are natural band-aides. Now that you have, keep the wound covered with band-aides at all times. Using an antibacterial ointment on them (under the band-aide) will also help them to heal. The band-aide protects the open wound from rubbing on clothes, etc.
If you cant keep the band-aides on just remember to wash your hands often to keep them clean and dry them well.

you want to guard your skin from the prospect of an infection and germs. no matter if that's conceivable deliver someone to get some burn ointment to yet on it and keep it dry and that i wouldnt cover it with something immediately yet once you bypass to mattress you ought to favor to very VERY gently cover it with some gauze so that you dont finally end up wiping the burn cream off on your sheets and allow germs to get in there the position the floor is off. no matter if it remains burning positioned some ice on it very intently. That ought to of been some quite warm soup to of burned the floor off of your hand. in basic terms keep it sparkling and coated with the onintment until eventually it heals. If by danger it starts off to get purple and extremely warm feeling then bypass see a clinical professional except that you'll stay.

the liquid is probably your natural body fluids like what they call 'water blisters'.
Blisters are God's bandaids, as one doctor told me.
You need to keep the areas CLEAN for one thing. If you go to work or outside your house you need to wrap your hands LOOSLEY with gauze to prevent infection.
Dial soap is a good wash for your hands to keep them clean, you will probably use only tepid water since these areas will be
painful to warmer water.
Good luck, know it hurts.!

Liquid is the water from the blister... you should only pop them at night and then make sure they are CLEAN. Peroxide would be good to pour over them. Leave them uncovered when you go to bed.
