I was burned on the face, and now my burns are blistering, but not painful. Do I have 1st or 2nd degree burns? 2 Years, 2 Months ago

I was making pancakes and when I tried to flip it, grease splashed my face. I'm using antibiotic cream and calendula. My burns are blistering, which means 2nd degree burn, but they stopped hurting about 1hr after the incedent so they can't be too bad. So what kind of burn do I have??? Also, how can I speed up the healing process? I have weird looking brown blotches and oozing blisters on my face!I did talk to a doctor, don't worry!!!!!That one about using Pam is so funny, because I DId use Pam, I just used a ridiculous amount I guess!!

those are 2nd degree burns. Keep cool compresses on them and use antibiotic ointment. Owie!!! Don't you hate when your food fights back!

Oh my goodness! Please go see your doctor. If you get a really good cream you can prevent scarring, if not you may end up with permanant scars. If you have no doctor, and absolutely can't. I would wait until it heals a little more and then start to use an over the counter scar treatment. For now, baby your skin and stay out of the sun. But really, you honestly should get that looked at.

Buy some vitamin E capsules, they have oil in them and when you put it on scars, sores, or injuries it will speed healing and lessen the prominence of the scars, will also lighten dark scars. But you need to apply at least twice a day to get a speedy recovery.

Seriously, you should probably have a doctor take a look to make sure the damage isn't worse than you think. These definitely sound like 2nd degree burns, and there isn't a whole lot you can do at this point but keep your face clean and dry. I believe there is a cream called Silvadene that is good for burns, but if the blisters have already started to weep, it's not good to put Silvadene on open sores. Over the next week or so, they'll dry out and start to heal, but it'll be a while before they're completely healed. Oh, and don't peel anything until it's ready to come off on its own; you could just expose more tissue and open yourself up for infection as well.
