Should I pop my burn blister?

Question

I had it for about 2 days now its kinda small its on the side of my index finger. If you say no, how should I treat it. Or if any other treatment options.

Thanks

Answer 1

Pop it. It will heal faster and allow you to remove the damaged skin that is the blister quicker.  

Answer 2

I had a giggle to myself for a while.. because i thought your question said "bum blister" until the text got bigger, and it says "burn blister" I'm sorry..

Dont burst blisters, it will just get worse and take longer to heal. Just leave it, or put a band aid on it..  

Answer 3

There is no pus in a burn blister.

The first answer is right. Leave it alone... you open yourself to infection and it actually ends up hurting more if you pop it.

Answer 4

Do not pop it. Burn blisters are filled with fluid, not pus; there's no need to get the fluid out and in fact puncturing the blistered skin only opens you up to infection.

As stated, it will shrink and go away by itself as your body reabsorbs the fluid. If you want to speed the process up, soak your finger in warm salt water (preferably Epsom salts, which are a different composition than your standard Na Cl table salt). Osmosis should occur and help shrink the blister.

Answer 5

Alyssa is right, don't pop it!  Not only will it take ages to heal, but will open you up to infection and it will hurt 10 x more!    Use a band-aid, and some burn-healing ointment if you have it in the house.  

Answer 6

i used to work in a kitchen, and i got a burn when i let some hot steam catch my skin, i had a burn blister on my finger and again everyone was telling me not to pop it etc etc, but my boyfriend said it was best to pop it to get rid of all the puss and stuff

anyway he popped it for me ( i was to scared to do it) the puss came out and it healed within the hour

pop it honestly to get rid of all the nasty stuff and then it will be fine =)

Answer 7

NO! just keep a band-aid on it! it will go away by its self if you do pop it it will just get worse! Never pop it! Or it will take 2 the time for it to heal!
