Yup. Once the blister forms, it is safe to let the liquid out because it speeds up he healing process.

You CAN safely pop the blister. Use a flame-sterilized needle, and just poke it enough to let the fluid out. If you leave it alone, sure it will pop on it's own, but it may also remove that "roof" of skin over it! Leave the roof of skin on there, and get some of those bandages that stay on for three days while absorbing the seepage from the wound. It's very difficult to have a blister on your finger, because we of course use our hands so much. I'm just thinking that you will probably end up ripping it completely open if you leave the fluid in there.

I recently burned the top of my thumb very badly, and had a huge blister. I took parental advice and used a sterile needle to poke the side, and let it drain. Then use Bacitracin or NEOSPORIN w/ pain relief and keep a bandage on it for a few days. Change the bandage often to keep it clean. The new skin will start to grow back in a day or so and the Neosporin will prevent scars.

no do not pop the blister. i burned 3 of my fingers on the stove i accidentally put my fingers down on top of a hot burner. anyway one of my fingers was like really really bad and my doctor said make sure i dont pop it b/c bacteria can get in it. and cause infection. trust me the blisters wont be there 4 long. trust me i had a 2nd degree burn. and the blister went away after like 3 days. just keep ice on it so it will feel better.

No, don't pop a burn blister. It is protecting the raw burned skin underneath. You can buy special bandages for burns. I think it would be wise for you to see a doctor though. The doctor can prescribe a cream called silvedine that heels burns quickly.

No! Don't break the blister. That makes it easy to get infected. If it still hurts, rub ice on it. That will stop the pain and swelling. Then put medicated ointment on it if you have some, and keep it covered with a bandage.
