The kind of bandage that is best for a burn blister is a non adherent burn dressing.

Any other sterile adhesive bandages or gauze is also good for a burn blister.

You can also use a normal band aid on the burn blister if it's all you have.

You can also put Neosporin on a burn blister as the Neosporin can help protect the burn blister and burn and help speed up the healing and soothe any pain.

A burn blister is a second degree burn.

2nd degree burns involve the epidermis and part of the dermis layer of the skin.

The burn site with a 2nd degree burn will appear red, blistered and can be swollen and painful.

Do not break a blister if it's bigger than your little fingernail.

If the blister does break, clean it with mild soap and water.

Apply an antibiotic ointment, and cover the area with a bandage or gauze.

Applying moisturizer, aloe Vera gel or other pain relief gels may provide temporary relief.

A 2nd degree burn looks like blisters and a darker tone of skin and a shiny moist appearance.

Third degree birds can cause your skin to turn black.

First-degree burns affect only the outer layer of the skin. They cause pain, redness, and swelling.
Second-degree burns affect both the outer and underlying layer of skin. They cause pain, redness, swelling, and blistering. ...
Third-degree burns affect the deep layers of skin.

Second-degree burns are a common type of mild burn that causes blistering, skin discoloration, pain and shiny skin.

2nd degree burns affect both the epidermis and the second layer of skin (dermis).

The 2nd degree burn may cause swelling and red, white or splotchy skin.

Blisters may also develop, and pain can be severe.

Deep second-degree burns can cause scarring.

For many second-degree burns, home treatment is all that is needed for healing and to prevent other problems.

Rinse the burn. Rinse burned skin with cool water until the pain stops.

Rinsing will usually stop the pain in 15 to 30 minutes.

If you have a small second-degree burn (less than 3 inches in diameter), you can treat it at home: Use cool water to gently wash your burn.

Try to keep your burn area under water for at least five minutes, up to 30 minutes.

Gently pat the burn dry with a clean towel.

Superficial second-degree burns usually heal in about three weeks, as long as the wound is kept clean and protected.

Deep second-degree burns may take longer than three weeks to heal.

A second-degree burn that doesn't cover more than 10 percent of the skin's surface can usually be treated in an outpatient setting.

Burns that cause widespread blistering (second degree) or that are charred or painless (third degree) should be seen immediately in an emergency room.

Any burns caused by chemicals, electricity, house fires, or lightning should be checked in the emergency room as well.
