Resolved question:
my husband was using a stud gun which heats metal to metal and it threw slag under his wedding ring. it is a bad burn between the fingers. there was instant blistering and kids of skin in the area. the size is about a dime on each inside dude of the two fingers. question is that it didn't really hurt in the beginning but now he says when cleaning it... it feels like his hand is bruised. there is pain. is this normal with this type of burn. I am worried but he says he is fine. it hurts but he is fine. typical man. haha.

Hello,
Thank you for choosing DoctorSpring.
The burns appears to be a full thickness minor burn.
This should heal by itself with good care. Make sure that the area is kept dry and out of any dirt.
*If you get hold of some sterile dressing pads/gauze , do a dry sterile dressing. Make sure it is loose. (optional)
*You can also apply a Burn specific antibacterial cream like Silver Sulfadiazine twice daily.(not necessary). (optional)
* If there is pain he can take a OTC pain medication like Ibuprofen
In case if there increasing pain, redness, discharge from the site you should consider getting medical help
Hope this helps
