My mom's an oral-maxilofacial surgeon (face and neck), And she keeps saying that wounds in the mouth and face heals pretty quick because it has a good blood supply. I've had stiches just over my ear from an accident involving a flourescent tube, other then a smal bald spot, nothing at all. Just don't burst it, and let nature take it's course. Think of the bilster as natures own sterile bandage.

For future reference, everyone should have an Aloe Vera plant growing around their house.
If you have a burn, just split a "leaf" and apply the goo.
It will stain cloth, so be careful of clothing or sheets.
Applied quickly, it is very soothing.
It another medicinal purpose. Mix a little in some water and drink it, but have no immediate plans.

ok, now that you got plenty of sound advice....
GO INTO DETAILS?
how did you pour boiling water on your face?
were you trying to make tea with out the use of a teacup?

QuoteWith my burn I used Silvadine (?SP). It heals really quickly, and it what is used on people with large amounts of burns or severe burns. It can only be purchased through perscription.
what your refering to is called silver sulfadiazine cream, used specifically to curb bacterial growth, if your blister pops you really should look into getting some of that, if the skin is still intact that cream will do absolutely nothing, and you might try to find some bacitracin with zinc, you;d be surprised at the stuff people put on burns, i learned alot about burns at Brooke army medical center's burn unit, they have one of the worlds best units there
and jumping is probably a bad idea at this point the wind would definitely pop it
Fly it like you stole it
Thanks for the advice, guys! 
I'm still trying to find an aloe plant. Here in central PA, we have cornfields galore, but even Super Wal-Mart has no aloe.
Now, how did I manage to scald my face with boiling water, you ask?
Blame the eight-legged mofo under the stove. I leaned down to grab him and, victorious, jumped up quickly, bumped the pot of water with enough force to catapult it into the air, and cringed as it flipped over right above my head. I only darted away fast enough to save the left side of my face.
Damn. At least the encroaching spider died in one swift blow.
So, that's my story. Laugh, point, etc. And keep me away from your kitchens.

I'm getting to this thread late, but I just wanted to tell you what worked for me. I had second degree burns on my face when I was a teenager from the sun and the blisters looked just like that. The hospital told me to alternate between a cold compress soaked in tea to help with the sting and then to put plain yogurt on it to help dry it up. I did that for an entire day, switching it out about every 20-30 minutes. It really helped and like everyone else said, don't pop it.

Thanks! Did the blisters heal without scars?

Yeah, you couldn't tell it happened after a couple of weeks.

Damn, that sucks. maybe next time you should spill the boiling water on the spider to avoid an accident. Hope you heal fast.

After it heals up, and you think you might end up with a scar, buy a box of silicone scar sheets and use those.
You can get them at a decent pharmacy.

Exactly what Goose 491 said. Do NOT touch it, leave it alone. Once, I had 12 blisters under one feet from walking on dry African terrain - I opened every single one of them with a needle, left the yarn in it, liquids disappered and all was forgotten within 2 days.
yarn? um please tell me this home remedy...

Yep. Easy to explain: Take a needle, contrive some yarn in it, go through the blister and leave the yarn in it.... liquid will be able to disappear, blister will dry out quickly - that's the whole secret! Blisters full of liquid are pain but, piercing the blister with a needle is not.
Leave the yarn in the blister for few days and you'll be fine w/in shortest time. My personal experience!
That's all.
Anyhow, I'd never do this with the tender, sensible skin of face etc.... It works perfect on feet.

Yes, this is the stuff!! I'm also unsure of the spelling, but I work for a Fire Department and when my daughter got a second degree burn on her shoulder, the medics here got me some from the local ER and she healed beautifully and really quickly. Can't even tell she ever had the burn.
