if the blisters haven't popped leave them intact... for the popped one, apply some over the counter neosporin or bacitracin would be the treatment I would recommend.

Keep them clean... shower off whatever ointment you put on them twice a day and reapply. I'd recommend ivory or dial soap as that was what we used to use in the burn unit.

good luck and call if you have any questions...

Thank you, Doctor. I think I am well supplied to follow your recommendations.

We did have a great time while I was frying myself. The beach at Sandestin is better than any I have been to in Southern California. The girls would love it if you guys want to join us one of these years.
