That is just it, EXACTLY. I work in a hospital and all the docs and nurses say DON'T pop. The blister keeps the wound clean. It will eventually pop on its own or better still the fluid will reabsorb and help speed the healing process. Especially with the burn on her face....go get some burn cream and gauze and be very careful for the next few days. Sorry she got burned, hope things go well from now on.
