Do you know how to treat a bad grease burn?
I work in a deli and got a bad grease burn on my arm a couple days ago. It blistered and I've been protecting it. Today the blister burst and left a large hole that is very painful. What is the best way to treat? I am at more risk of infection as I'm a diabetic.
You have a 2nd degree burn, which is fairly serious. Taking into consideration that burns and broken blisters get infected very easily, and that you are at an even higher risk for infection, I would strongly advise you go to the doctor. They can debride the burn if that's needed, they can dress it properly, and you can get prescription burn creams (such as silver sulfidiazine) from them. Having it professionally treated will cut down the risk of infection and, as it will in all likelihood heal properly, you will have less scarring.
