Second degree burn, blister popped?
I heard that one shouldn't pop a blister from a second degree burn, so I told my mother not to, but now there's a small hole in the blister and liquid is falling out?
My mom got the blister two days ago, from keeping garlic on her skin for too long. We heard that applying garlic on the skin helps bug bites go away, so she tried it, but after leaving it on for a few hours she got a burn and a blister formed. The liquid in the blister got bigger and bigger until it was full, and now it seems a hole of some kind formed on top of the blister and liquid is oozing out. Is this a good thing? Bad thing? What should we do?

Depends on what the blister looks like and what the fluid looks like coming out of it. If the fluid is clear and the area around doesn't appear to be red or inflamed. Cover it up with a dry, loose dressing or bandage. Keep it dry & clean. Change the bandage as needed. Don't try to stop the fluid from seeping out until it does that on its own. If the blister is red, inflamed, painful to the touch and the fluid coming out has any color to it (yellow, green) or blood. You really need to get it looked at then. DON'T break open (any more then it already has) or tear the loose skin that makes up the blister. Leave it intact. Don't squeeze out any fluid that collects under the blister.

the best thing to do is keep it as clean as possible. and for it to heal faster is by cutting off the dead skin to expose the fresh tissue, this is so new skin can form and heal faster. if you don't want to cut the skin off clean it out and a simple dot of neosporn and a band aid should do the trick. Then after the first 12-24 hours the band aid can come off so the good bacteria can dry it up.
