Help with water blisters.?

Question

I went canoeing today for the first time in a while and I got a water blister on the top of my middle finger and the tips of my fingers are tender to the touch. I didn't know if there was anything I could to help it along or if there was anything I could do to stop the pain.

Answer 1

No!

Answer 2

poke a little hole in the blister so the water can come out but do not take the skin off.  put some lotion on it and it should get better in about 2 days.

Answer 3

pop it

Answer 4

I would pop it. If you pop it though make sure to put on some anti-biotic ointment and a band aid to make sure it doesn't get infected. An infection would hurt way more then it does now.

Answer 5

don't worry i have had water blisters many times before. and what i did  was slightly dab the blister with a damp cloth and it should pop by itself.

Answer 6

put a needle in hot water to disinfect it and pop it trust me it wont hurt at all

hope this helps!

Answer 7

you can burst it and it will feel much better afterwards so good luck x

Answer 8

there are bandaids made especially for blisters, apply to any spots that may have friction against the skin and it keeps you from blistering up. not sure if this will help what u are calling water blisters. maybe wear gloves the next time to keep your hands dry. however to rid yourself of those water blisters, a dermatologist told me a long time ago to lance the blister and push the fluid out and press the skin flat against the fresh raw skin underneath. this quickens heal time 10x. and it's not as painful because the skin if flattened and able to reconnect to the skin beneath, just don't peel it off. if u rip it off it will not only be sore and tender it will also bleed.  

Answer 9

Get a sewing needle. Burn the end with a match. Wipe it with a clean cloth. Stick it into the blister. Press down. Once it`s flat wash it with water and soap. Then put a bandage on it. Never rip the skin off. The skin will go flat.
