Is the Doctor going to burst them!?
Question:
And another thing, will going out in the sun make that area worse?
Thank You
Answers:
You have a second degree burn. Blisters are normal with this. DO NOT POP THEM. The doctor will not pop them either.
Any burn is highly susceptible to infection. Since this burn is second degree, what the doctor will probably do is apply silver sulfadiazine and wrap it with a sterile dressing. SSD is an antibiotic ointment that also is a painkiller. It will help the burn feel better while prevent infection at the same time. The doctor will instruct you on how often you need to reapply it and change the dressing.
Yes, you should avoid exposing the burned area to the sun. That can make the scarring worse. Second degree burns typically DO scar. You can reduce the scarring by applying vitamin E ointment ONCE THE BURN HAS FULLY HEALED.
Second degree burns are often the most painful type of burn. You will be hurting. Your doctor may prescribe something for pain relief or tell you to take an over the counter pain reliever. Make sure you follow your doctor's instructions for aftercare and pain relief. The burn will probably heal within 2 weeks.

it's a 2nd degree burn, the doctor probably won't burst the blisters, as that could lead to infection. he might just give you some antibiotics, or a pain reliever. don't worry, you're doing the right thing by going to him. just follow his after-care instructions. call him if it gets worse.
dont go out in the sun you dont need another irritant to the area
awww frihah im sorry!! :( i hope everything goes well for you!!
yeah he is
No, doctor will not burst them as infection will set in. Expose to sun will worsen the wound. Do stay indoors preferably in air conditioned room to protect the boil.
he will bandage them up but defonately wont burst them. this will lead to scarring
yes he/she will if it's pass the first degree mark, and please don't get out in the sun.
That happened to me when I was 4 years old, but the difference was that I dropped it on my chest, and it was 4 cups of tea, I dont remember what treatment he gave me, but it is fully healed now, and not a spot left, as the answer you got(above) he is probably going to give you antibiotics, and some kind of cream to put it on, Take care, and get well soon!
