I recently dipped my fingers in hot glue and received several magnificent blisters my own self. At first, I couldn't remember if it was friction or burn blisters that you are supposed to pop, but I do have memories of popping blisters and regretting it.

Anyways, I accidentally popped one the next day and it was fine. I'm pretty sure it's friction blisters you're not supposed to pop as when I drained my burn blisters, it didn't hurt, and let my fingers feel more normal again.

Plus, if you do it with a needle, it's pretty awesome because the fluid refills itself and you can get some pretty good squirting distance by squeezing the blister. You should pop it for this reason alone.

The medically correct answer is don't pop.

What everyone does, though, and what I bet you won't be able to resist doing, is pop.

My aunt, who is a nurse says pop, but do it at night before bed, to give it the night to heal up a bit before getting dirty with daily activities.

I read on one of those medical sites that the most comfortable way of taking care of it is to carefully slice half the top of to make a sort of flap. Then you finely crush a Mentos candy and pack it full. Now you need to carefully superglue the flap back down, trying your hardest to make it an airtight seal. After all this, get a medical syringe full of Diet Coke and inject it into the packed blister.

The blister should be taken care of within seconds of following these directions.

If you must pop because the fluid pressure is painful, do not peel. Use a sterilized needle and just pop.

I agree with Taco. Puncture it to let the fluid drain but don't peel the top off until it dries and starts to come off on it's own.

You should put an ad on Craiglist and charge people money to do sick and twisted things to those puppies.




You should also seek out medical attention for your toes.

There is a thread for a year or two ago asking for advice on how to handle a boil on someone's neck. If you can find it, much of that advice is applicable here.

Just for the record, MY husband has a foot fetish. My toes are NOT stubby because I can wrap my...nevermind, that's disturbing.


Anyhoo, I just video taped my blister popping. With all of the oozing and a little bit of squirting, the video ended up appearing and sounding like soft porn. My problem is this...I've got the Vista program. It will not cooperate. In addition to this quandary, I'm at the age, slightly younger than Whistler, where I don't know what the hell to do with this DVD. So, I've posted my temporary personal e-mail to someone who can help. I'll send you the raw DVD, if you can format it and post it to this thread under two conditions:
1) I'll only send it to a known ZuGger (my dime).
2) If it goes viral, I get 10% for pain and suffering, the formatter gets 10%, for psychological treatment, and John Hargrave gets 80% to pay expenses and explain it to the FCC.

I have actually been a burn nurse (for a short time in my 20 year career). I realize that this is too late...... but here is what we do when a patient rolls in the door, we promptly throw them into a tub of "warm" water, which feels like ice to them, because they are BURNED. Then we start scrubbing the bejeezus out of the burns, popping the blisters, and peeling the loose skin. There is no amount or combination of drugs that will take the pain away. Then we apply creams or ointments, depending on the severity of the burn, and wrap gauze around it. Now, what do you think happens when the gauze has to come off??? I will give you time to think.........Yep, the gauze pulls off any remaining skin ,SLOWLY and PAINFULLY. I was not cut out for that kind of nursing, I left after a year. So quit being a Poe and scrub that toe!!!!! ;)

If you left the burn unit after only a year, you're not cut out for ZuG.

Trust me.

Maybe you are right. I just got so tired of the whining....."Ouch! those are my balls!" and "Could you push this button for me, my fingers are burned off".....etc.

I have a little input on the popping of blisters related to burns... A little too late, but information none the less.

When I was a baby, I was in my room taking a nap and my mom was outside burning weeds and other yard debris. She was using an accelerant on her fire (bad idea) and accidentally spilled some on her foot. This ignited her legs and of course she panicked and ran. I am unclear on the rest, but I believe somebody got the hose and put her out.

She did not go to the hospital... she sat in a cold bathtub and talked to her Dr on the phone. She did blister, HUGE HUGE blisters that were about the size of her entire thigh, but she did not pop them at the recommendation of her Dr. Her instructions were to use betadine on her burns and let the blisters take care of themselves. She has no real scars, and the few faint scars she does have resemble stretch marks more than burn scars.

I don't pop blisters. Put a small hole in the bubble and drain the puss use it for beef stock later. Let the outer skin wear off for minimal pain.

I do pop other people's blisters just to watch them suffer.
