Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would advise you not to puncture or debride the blisters. In case it bursts of its own, I would advise you for an antiseptic ointment to apply over it which ideally should also be safe to the eyes in case it goes inside the eye. Obviously it would be an ophthalmic ointment for the wounds and blisters near the eyebrow. In the wounds behind the neck and scalp, I would advise you to get it Chat Doctor.  Usually blisters caused by hot water are not very deep burns, and it would heal in about two to three weeks time unless it gets infected. For the pain or burning sensation, I would have advised you for any anti-inflammatory
