Why do deep burns still blister when they look like they have healed?

Question

Well, i was riding on my pit bike and i fell off into a pile of rocks i was going about 80kmph, wearing a pair of shorts and i cut all my legs up badly.. anyway i was lying there with the bike on top of me with the exhaust pipe at about 150degrees it was burning my leg.. but cause of the adrenaline i didnt really feel it.. anyway about 2 months later after infections in the burn and this and that it looks as though it has healed. it feels really wierd but when my friend or even i poke something into it like a pen or something else these bubbles appear on it. and when i burst them water comes out so im assuming they are blisters. How long till this stops its really annoying and they hurt :(

Answer 1

your skin has healed over, however it is only a thin layer of scarred skin there. It is highly sensitive to touch right now and will blister right back up if irritated. The blisters are a protector of the skin and when they pop you are at risk of infection again. Leave the blisters alone, and try not to irritate your scared skin. It will take months for your burn not to be so sensitive even though it looks like it has already fully healed.

I believe you suffered a deep second or third degree burn and have had substantial tissue damage .

Answer 2

An infection that is not recognised causes the continuous exudate of protein into subepidermal space causing blisters. A powerful topical antiseptic cream cures it.
