Suggest Treatment For Burnt Face, Neck And Back Of The Head

Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would advise you not to puncture or debride the blisters. In case it bursts of its own, I would advise you for an antiseptic ointment to apply over it which ideally should also be safe to the eyes in case it goes inside the eye. Obviously it would be an ophthalmic ointment for the wounds and blisters near the eyebrow. In the wounds behind the neck and scalp, I would advise you to get it dressed with an antiseptic ointment at least every alternate day. Usually blisters caused by hot water are not very deep burns, and it would heal in about two to three weeks time unless it gets infected. For the pain or burning sensation, I would have advised you for any anti inflammatory drug along with a proton pump inhibitor. However, the exact way of management could be planned only after a clinical examination of the wounds and so I would also suggest you to visit your nearest hospital or family physician for a proper and safe management. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef
