How do I get rid of blisters?

Question

Does anyone know i quick way to get rid of painful blisters?

I got some from my new shoes and I've tried taping it up but after a while it still hurts.

Answer 1

make a hole on your skin by a needle, it wont hurt because it is only one layer of skin, not your flesh or muscle. drain the water out by pressing around the hole. then put some antiseptic like iodine or dettol. dry it out. if it hurts, put some plaster. if it keeps swelling, put your leg higher when u lie down. or dont walk too much. thank you

Answer 2

You need to be very careful with blisters- it's generally not a good idea to burst blisters, but when full of fluid they can be very painful. The best idea is to sterilize a sharp needle in rubbing alcohol, then rub more of the alcohol onto and around the blister to sterilize the skin. Then you can use the clean needle to gently let the fluid out of the blister. This should offer some relief.

Honestly though, thry to avoid doing this if you can - it's really best to just let blisters heal themselves, as even with precautions like those above, you are increasing risk of infection by breaking the barrier to infection the blister provides.

Hope this helped.
