Answer 1

Salutations,

sorry, but the pin is the best way. heat it before you use it to kill any germs on it, or you'll have an infection, insted of a blister. You might want to put a bit of moleskin in that part of your shoes, this will cut down on the friction,which is why you have the blisters. you can also try soaking your feet, then applying lemon juice, yes, actually rub a lemon on your foot. this toughen up the skin. I ran track in high school and everybody swore by this. take care. Cheers

Answer 2

I like to smear mine in sardine oil and let my cats chew them open.  Seriously, though, the needle is the most pain free.  Just go at the blister from the side, rather than poking straight down.  Poke the skin where it seems the thinnest, and you shouldn't feel any pain.  Good luck!

Answer 3

A pressure bandage dressing used overnight might help in them going down without risk of potential infection.I have to say it would be silly to pop them as you may get them infected.Some betadine ointment would help prevent infection.Line your shoes with some protective material,e.g gauze or combine.New shoes are reknowned for causing foot problems.  

Answer 4

use some tweezers to sort of pinch it a bit until it drains. keep it covered and apply some ointment.  

Answer 5

Soak your hands in hot water or salt water. That will soften the skin on top. Then wash your hands kinda rough until they pop. Make sure to put neosporin on after as to not get an infection. Good luck

Answer 6

Most of the time the best thing to do is leave them but since you don't want to do that the second best thing is to pop them, You sterilize a needle by putting rubbing alcohol on it then you pop it that's the best way i know of but I'm sure there are a few other ways the needle is the good way to do it though just don't go from the top go from the side

Answer 7

Sorry......You really shouldn't pop them!

Answer 8

I was going to tell you not to pop them but since you don't want that answer I guess you can bite them off, try to dip them in ranch first  

Answer 9

You're asking about the best way to pop blisters, but then you say "don't tell me to pop them!"?!

What advice exactly do you want?

To be perfectly honest, blisters will go away by themselves... but if the irritation that caused them doesn't stop, they will remain.

The only way to "get rid" of a blister (and you won't like this) is to pop it, drain it, then cover it.

If you don't like the idea of a needle, then use a pair of nail clippers... just pinch the surface of the blister in the very corner of the clippers. It's painless... the top layer of the skin that you will be puncturing has no pain receptors.

Then you simply drain it and clean it up a little, then put a band aid or something similar over it to let it heal.

The key is not to take off the skin above the blister... just puncture it so it will drain.

If this is not an potion for you, then I'm afraid you'll have to put up with them.
