What is the best treatment for a heat blister on the hand?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Puncture it: Take a pin and sterilize it with a match and then wipe off with alcohol. Poke one or two holes in the blister, but do not peel the blister off. This will drain the blister, but leave the outer skin as a protective covering.
