  I think Bactroban sounds about right, but 
  might be the old one I had. The one I have now is a prescription only. 
  
   
  First I try and keep the blister from 
  popping, but if it pops I usually just dab the burn on a 4x4 trying to keep 
it 
  dry as possible. If it pops I was told to be sure to get the skin off. Germs 
  can get under it and be ripe for infection. I put the antibiotic cream on if 
  it starts to look bad or does not dry out fast.
  Mine is 2 or 3 days old and most of it has 
  a dry feel to it now. So I feel pretty good about it. If the scab slides off, 
  that's a good sign of infection.
