While swooping a hot glue gun out of the reach of my toddler, some hot glue dripped onto my foot causing several large blisters. One isn't bad but another is quite painful. Does anyone know if I need to stay out of the pool or if it would be okay to swim still? Thank you!
I'm just lay in this area but I would stay out until some new skin covers it.
Even though pool water is a strong antibacterial, it only kills surface bugs. So a chunk of something that hasn't been broken down still contains live and potentially pathogenic bugs. If your healing skin becomes opened (easy with kicking), and since it's already compromised from the burn, if the chunk becomes imbedded there .... You don't want to be on antibiotics while pregnant.
