I don't know about A and E, it might be worth going though. You shouldn't burst the blisters because else they could get infected. The fluids there to protect it or something.

Check out the burns faq...gives you an indication what you should do. Also if you need to dress it accordingly to the faq, check you the wound care faq. If there is any other q's that both of them can't answer, feel free to PM or the team ta.
