No, this post isn't about scalding wood with a view to shaping it. If you've got a queasy tummy, don't read any further.
Unfortunately, it's about treating scalded fingers. Yesterday I managed to get a blast of steam over my hand (whilst removing foil from a chicken that was roasting in the oven) and a couple of fingers have blistered quite badly. I was hoping to leave them to heal naturally but one blister has burst, removing the skin from the middle knuckle to the finger nail. It looks rather ugly and feels annoyingly uncomfortable.
It's so rare for me to injure myself that I'm not sure what would be the best course of treatment. Suggestions welcome! And how should I deal with the remaining blisters?
