Q: i just lit some tape on fire and the melted tape got on the tip of my middle finger and i got a little painful blister. i have my finger in cold water and it does help but is there anything i can do to get the pain to go away fully?
A: first cool down the area by running it under cool water for 15 minutes. whatever you do dont pop the blister!!! it could get infected. if you have aloe vara (sunburn stuff) rub some of that on there. it should help with the pain and swelling. if it still hurts ice it every few minutes for an hour. if the blister has already poped on its own then get pure saline sulution (mild salt water solution found near contact section) and rinse it out. try not to use alcohol (painful) or hydrogen pyroxoide (can kill skin cells) unless use popes the blister on a dirty surface. keeped wrapped in clean bandages and was out with ssaline. this will promote healing and help prevent scar tissue
