Blisters: A blister is an erosion produced by friction. It is usually best to leave a blister intact as the top layer of skin is protecting. Once the top layer is gone, sensitivity increases as does the risk for infection and chance of scarring. If the top layer is gone, a thin film of petroleum jelly can act as a barrier to protect along with a non stick bandage.
