Pop the blisters with a sterile needle then drain the puss being careful not to disenfect. Apply a dry sterile bandage and change regularly. Aloe vera is only for minor sunburns, not third or second degree.

if it has blistered they are 2nd degree burns and she should have silvadene cream, which is a prescription, and you never apply a dry dressing to burns. You cleanse with sterile saline solution, and clip dead tissue away, called debriding.....then apply silvadene cream to just the burned area, and cover with a sterile non stick pad, then gauze pad. You change dressings twice a day until new skin forms and watch for infection. She also needs to stay well hydrated.
