Okay, so over a month ago the side of a clothing iron fell on my arm. It was very on, and very hot. So, of course it burned me pretty bad. As of two weeks ago, I got a large blood blister on it. That blood blister ended up getting popped(by a door closing on my arm), and then a few days later I got two more little blood blisters, that eventually formed into one larger blood blister. And then a few days after that I got another one! Three days ago one of the blood blisters has healed(but left a little mark of a small amount of blood stuck where it was) and I received ANOTHER blood blister yesterday. And throughout the night it has spread into a larger one! I'm kinda worried about it, because I heard if things like that keep happening you might have a blood infection. My friends are all telling me to get it checked out, but my parents are very persistant on the fact that "it's okay." Who's right in this situation? Should I get it checked out? Thanks so much! <3!

blood blisters are usually formed from a pinching of the skin, not from burns.. i have not heard of blood blisters from burns, nor have i heard of blood blisters showing a blood infection, i didnt find anything about either one online., i would def go and get it checked out, at least to be on the safe side!!!

Blood Blister On Arm

When I searched for answers on this, another poster said they went to their doctor and their doctor said that the blood blisters form on healing or healed burns like this because the wound goes deep and is still trying to heal itself from underneath. So the top may look healed, but there are areas underneath still trying to heal.

Go to the doctor, i would be more worried about heavy scarring occuring than a blood infection. You should probably be wearing a compression bandage made from silicone . A month is too long to still be having this problem.
