A member asked:
I've walked ten hours today with my friends, but now i've got a blister the size of a quarter. should i pop it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Better to leave skin intact over clear fluid blisters. Once popped the expose raw skin will be very tender, painful and sensitve and more at risk for infection. If do pop, cover with ointment and a bandaid to feel better and prevent infection.
