I was using my hot glue gun and it burnt my finger. Now I have a small blister by my fingernail and it hurts bad. What can I do to ease the pain? Should I lance the blister?

Lancing the blister will reduce the pain, but make sure you use a clean needle. Hold it in a flame briefly, and then let it cool before lancing. Clean off the fluid wich will come out, and then use an antiseptic plaster to cover the wound. If the skin pulls off too soon, it will be even more painful.

The blister is there to protect the burnt flesh. I would not pop it. Ice is a little intense. I would try soaking it in cold water. If you have lavender essential oil, put that on it. It can do wonders for burns.

You could pop the blister if you want it to get infected. Try putting some kind of burn cream on it and cover it with gauze. You can ask your pharmasist for the burn cream or your doctor. If you keep it clean and change the cream and gauze regularly, it should heal within a few days.

Dont pop the blister. You should get a gauze and fold it over in half and then in half again then cut a tiny hole where the blister is and put it on your finger.

No...do not pop the blister...it is going to hurt...but it's best to just let it stay..and it will pop on its own and when it does...it means that a layer of skin has already grown under the blister...so just leave it!

you will ought to bypass to the drug save for this... so no longer abode treatment even though it particularly is the terrific subject I even have chanced on. i've got tried approximately each and every treatment there is. it particularly is stated as Iodex. It sounds like axle grease yet once you utilize it your poison ivy would be ineffective day after today. to apply it nonetheless you ought to break each and all of the guidelines: one million. scrape open the blisters and sparkling with cleansing soap and water. 2. dry off and quickly prepare the Iodex then conceal with gauze or a comfortable dry textile so which you will no longer wipe the Iodex off by risk. the subsequent morning you will see that the poison ivy is ineffective. you will probable ought to ask the pharmacist to get it for you because it should not be out on a shelf or show. it particularly is no longer prescription. ensure you ask for the only that is for cuts and abrasions. @JenV: thank you for that. such as you I even have been lined from head to foot, many cases. i'll ought to provide your Neoxyn a attempt. it is the 1st I even have heard of it.

The best thing is to keep it iced to take the burn out of it.
