I've accidently hold a hot pot and got my hands with blisters and burning sensation, What should i do ?
how do i find i good dermatologist?
Answers:
Quit typing at the computer. Put your hands in some ice water to cool the burns and reduce the swelling. Keep the burns dry and clean. After the blisters have stopped growing in size, apply a STERILE moisturizer liberally and frequently to keep the skin from drying out and cracking. If the wounds get infected (start oozing pus, or start to smell rancid) go to the dr asap to prevent blood poisoning.

If the blisters cover a pretty large area see the doc right away and get this checked out and get some prescription ointment for this. If they blister are not to big then rinse under cold water and apply a first aid cream or preferably a cream with tea tree oil in it. Do not pop the blisters and keep them covered until they are healed.
How can I find statistics on specific doctors?
It's too late to do the cold water bit. That needs to be done within seconds after you burn your hands.
Do not pop the blisters. Put antibiotic ointment on your hands (if you don't have any then put some petroleum jelly on them) and then wrap them, not too tightly, with some clean bandages or light cloth.
Registered Nurse here; First run cold water over your hands for about 5 minutes. Then access weather the size of the blisters, if larger than a nickel, you should go to the emergency room to prevent infection and decrease the amount of scarring. DO NOT POP THE BLISTERS, LEAVE THEM INTACT, THIS IS A NATURAL DEFENSE OF THE BODY AGAINST INFECTION, AS LONG AS THE BLISTERS ARE NOT RUPTURED, YOUR PROTECTED FROM INFECTION. However blisters usually get ruptured. Therefore is this occurs, wash thoroughly with soap and water and apply an antibiotic oint. such as neosporin. Silvadene is the medication of choice for a burn, this is not sold over the counter, therefore for proper treatment, you would have to either see your primary care provider or go to your nearest emergency room. If the blisters are small, all the above applies, but in addition, you can make a small light ice pack to place on them. Like a zip lock bag with small amount crushed ice, don't want to much weight for this could rupture the blisters also. Thanks for the opportunity to address your question. Butter will not help, but it won't hurt either, could benefit in relieve of pain, but will have no affect on scaring or infection.
run cold water over your hands. Dont apply ice directly to the skin and do NOT apply butter or oil, that holds the heat in. Take some aspirin for inflammation and pain
