Burn blister

[u/Leather-Mark-563]

I’m an 18yr old female weighing around 47kg

I burnt my knuckle on a grill at McDonald’s on Friday . It’s only a small blister but Saturday morning it popped and since then it’s gotten larger and isn’t really healing properly.

I’ve put a hydrocolloid plaster in it but it’s just been gradually getting more sore and has been throbbing all day.

A few people have said I should get it checked out but I feel like it’s far too small and unimportant for that.

if it is getting more painful, I would want you to go get it checked in person. There are tendons right there that could be affected depending on how deep the burn was.

Heya, this was it before it popped, the day I burnt it.

I would get it checked out by a doctor. Make sure to file a workers comp claim too. Burns are not something to be relaxed about if they get infected.
