I have a blister from a burn on my hand that's all deflated...

What do I do with it? I looked on the internet and it said that you should leave blisters alone and let them burst on their own. But mine didn't burst. It just deflated. Now I have a lump of dead skin that's adhered to the wound. Will it eventually dessicate and fall off on its own or do I need to take action? The last time I had a big blister from a burn I popped the thing and it healed with no scar. This thing looks horrible.

If you touch it, your entire hand will fall off! :Q

Just kidding. I don't think it matters too much either way. Just don't trap any dirt under the flap of skin.

Well, I don't have to worry about that, the wound appears to be sealed all the way around. I wish I had just popped it and be done with it.

The reason not to pop it is because you may get an infection on it. so just get some disinfectant and apply after you pop it.
