A member asked:
I popped a blister on my fingertip. is this recommended?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No it isn't: 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. The blister will gradually resolve with time . But now you have an open wound be sure to keep it well dressed.
