- Thoroughly wash your hands.
- Sterilize a needle in a flame until it glows red. After the needle cools, use it to puncture the edge of the blister and then gently press out the fluid. Leave the loose skin in place - the blister will heal faster.
- Dab on some antibiotic ointment, tea tree oil or clean your skin with a sterilizing wipe and cover the area with gauze or a gel dressing.
Be certain your tetanus shot status is up to date before piercing a blister; if you are not up to date, make an appointment with your doctor.
