Why Put Vaseline On A Blister? - #60734
I am dealing with some really painful skin blisters after trying out this herbal paste my friend swore by. I thought it would help with my dry patches, but now I have these awful blisters all over my arms! Like, they’re not just a little red, they're crazy swollen and itchy too. I have tried keeping them clean and covered, but it seems like every time I touch them, they get worse. I read somewhere that skin blisters treatment often involves different creams or ointments, but it’s so confusing! What’s the best ointment for blisters? I saw Vaseline mentioned a lot... why is that supposed to help? I want to know how to get rid of skin blisters fast because I can’t go around like this! Should I just leave them alone? Or is there a magic cream that's the best for blisters? I’m feeling kinda lost here, and it’s stressing me out. Any advice on skin blisters treatment that won’t make it worse would be super helpful! Thanks!
