Question 1

should i pop my blood blister?

Accepted Answer

It may help: Sterilizing a needle by fire and piercing a blood blister may help relieve pressure and pain.  That said, if there are any questions, you should visit a medical professional.  Also, do not remove a blister entirely, as blisters can protect raw skin.

Question 8

i have diabetes and i have a blood blister what do i do?

Accepted Answer

Protect it: An unpopped blister represents a closed sterile environment.  Yes on occasion one can become infected then it is time to open it, however the risk of infection in a dressed open wound is still higher than that of an intact blister.  Protect it well. The blister will gradually resolve with time.

Limit water: Keeping the area dry by using a waterproof bandage or vaseline on the area for showers may help speed wound healing and reduces the risk of infection.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Protect it: You probably got skin between the string and the top.  I think you should be able to wrap it up without a great loss of sound.    If not you might have to (gasp!) pluck the strings!  the blister will gradually resolve with care.
