Green Blisters After Ice Skating. Diagnosed Friction Burns. Time For Healing?
Hi I went iceskating last week and got a blister. It was red at first and then I put some first aid cream on it. Two days later my blister was green. Next day I went to the nurse and she said it was a friction burn. Are those burns suppose to be green, if so why? Also, does it take a long time for friction burns to heal

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
Friction blisters are usually superficial.
They heal soon.
However the healing time depends on the depth of blister.
Usually blister should not be ruptured to prevent infection
Let me know you have any other doubts.
Please meet a dermatologist for final diagnosis.
