HELPIm being really paranoid and need some reassurance about popping a blister.?

Question

I row and just started pre season and i got these blisters (gross..but true, like bubbles) and i popped them with a safety pin that i had. is this bad ?

Answer 1

it's not bad, but you should be careful that they don't get infected now that they're open

just put a band aid on, and you'll be fine

Answer 2

Sterlize the pin, PUT antibacterialcream on and cover it with a bandaid.  

Answer 3

My doctor spouse told me never to pop a blister. "There is no better covering for the wounded (in my case, sunburned) skin than the natural cover already there," she said. Once it is popped, you must take precautions against infection.
