I have a blister....: It is best to leave a blister alone. Opening it can get it infected. If it does pop, apply antibiotic ointment to help prevent infection. Sometimes, applying alcohol may help dry it up. If you have any pain, redness, burning, blisters in the mouth or groin, you should see a Dermatologist as soon as possible.
