Touch - Burn Wounds The Skin There will only be seen redness and a little swelling (oedema) of the skin. There will be blistering and the wounds are painful.Dependent on the depth of the colour the skin beneath the blister will be intense red (superficial) to light pink ( deep). The sensibility is not disturbed and the wound feels supple. Eventually this allows us to start the right treatment and a quick healing. Burns can also evolve to a higher degree if not treated effectively. Dehydration, infections and mechanical damaging have to be avoided. Extensively washing with lukewarm water and the right bandage care can avoid this.
