What should I do? Heat blister.

[imani97]

Alright, I went to the Dominicans on Friday, and the metal clip that was holding the rollers ended up burning me. As a result, I now have a heat blister on the nape of my head. Should I bust it? Let it go away on it's own? TIA This has never happened before and you best bet that the next time it feels like I am being burned, I will move that doggone clip!

I would buy an aloe vera plant and put some aloe vera on it...or maybe some vitamin E oil. I wouldn't bust it. That may make you susceptible to an infection and/or taking longer to heal. I'd apply something soothing to it and leave it alone.
You may wanna pop a couple of echinacea tablets & drink some aloe vera juice...this would speed up the healing from the inside out.

HTH

I dunno what advice to give you, but Divine has some great tips. But maybe you can find other types of clips to hold the rollers so that this doesn't happen again in the future. I dunno if there are plastic ones but metal ones always burn me. I hate that.
I'm sorry you got burned.

Put aloe vera gel on it and don't bust it. This happened to my ear at the dominican salon from sitting under those hot ass dryers.

Thanks everyone for the advice. It ended up busting on its own. I will get some aloe vera to put on it.

Generally busting a blister is never a good idea. But since you say it burst on its own thats different. I would also advise you to use some antiseptic cream to ward of infections .
