I have a bunch of freeze burns on my arm (where my skin has frozen). Some blisters appeared, I popped them all. Put some Sudocrem on each burn and covered each one with a plaster. Each one is no more than 1 inch long/wide. What else can I do to make these burns heal? I need them to be completely healed in 10 days, will that happen? What should I do?

Don't fuck with it and let your body do the healing. Maybe apply some of that cream every night.
From my experience with cuts, it took more than 2 weeks to heal...

No, start immediately. Because that is your bodies way of protecting wounded skin. Popped blisters are also more likely to scar. You should also take a multivitamin.

Everyone says "around 2 weeks", I don't think 10 days is unreasonable. I don't mind if there are small scabs in 10 days, but not huge red marks and pieces of skin missing like there is now. SO fucking annoying.

Weird. I pulled all the plasters off and put aloe vera on each burn (there are 8 burns on my arm and 3 huge ones on my leg). A blister formed on my one of the burns on my arm pretty quickly. Should I leave it? Won't that make it take longer to heal? It seems like the blister will get popped on my clothing anyway.
I regret this so much. I am missing skin everywhere.

Silver Cream. Used this stuff when I stepped in a campfire and my feet got covered with 2nd degree burns. It speeds up the healing process exponentially. In the meantime, make sure to air-heal any wounds. Do not cover them at all.

Blisters, in my understanding, are localized intra-cellular fluid from damaged cells. It ends up being a nutrient-rich and protected area for your body to clean up the toxins released from cells and build new cells. They’re actually quite functional.

The burns don't look much better. That fucking blister is still there and despite my better judgement I have followed the advice in this thread and tried not to burst it. I will have a long bath every day and apply pure aloe vera to it at least once a day. I have 9 days for it to be healed. Will this work?

for burns, apply vasoline within the first minutes after the burn, then wrap tightly with gauze or tie paper towels to it.
healed completely in 4 days, healed to the point you don't need to baby it in about 30 hours

the main thing for all burns is to prevent the bubble from forming, as it is holding in bacteria. since it appears to already formed, just make a small cut at the base with a sterilized boxcutters or needle and let it drain, then wrap it back up.
Anonymous A (OP) replied with this 15 years ago, 5 minutes later, 1 day after the original post[^][v]#161,496
You said that blisters harbour bacteria, which is a load of bollocks. The guy in that video says disinfect all of the skin (twice), disinfect the needle then pierce it, squeeze the shit out and put some antiseptic cream on it then a plaster. You didn't suggest any of that.

The advice I decided to follow was from Dr. Neal Schultz, who was filmed in a video later uploaded to YouTube. Seeing as no-one in this thread has at least two degrees in medicine, I trust his judgement more than uncited claims from a "chan". If I went to see my doctor about a small blister/cut/burn, he would probably give me a slap and tell me to leave. Oh, I did test it first. Maybe I was a little impatient, but I didn't expect a product like this to burn my skin after following their instructions verbatim... Plus I had to wait 15 days for the fucking thing to arrive via airmail. What more can we expect from American produce?

blisters are full of pus, pus is nothing more than bacteria and white blood cells in various states of deadness suspended in lymphatic fluid; thus blisters harbor basteria

look at the picture in @161,452 (A). three blisters full of puss and one that isn't; most likely already popped

yes, the first section says it is full of serum, a.k.a. pus; scroll past the ad and > Normally, a blister filled with clear liquid should be protected, not drained, except possibly with a sterile instrument.

Progress update. 7 days to go. Emptied all the blisters and keep putting aleo vera on it. The aleo vera sort of glued to my skin, I peeled it off and it took a couple of the scabs off. Big mistake. I must have applied too much. Will proceed cautiously applying a lot less.
