Blister from oil burn / scalding, do I need to see a doctor?
Had scald the back of my hand (more than 3cm in area) earlier today, and the blister had swollen up pretty big (2cm length × 1cm height). Do I need to to go see a doctor? I have antiseptic cream at home, can I burst the blister, deroof the skin and apply the cream on the wound?
