only if hurts you or if it is in a location where it will burst in an uncontrolled way. If you must, clean and sterilize the area around the blister with alcohol or betadine solution. Then drain the blister by inserting a small sterile needle into the side of the blister until you just pierce the skin. Then press on the other side of the blister to remove all of the fluid. clean again with alcohol and cover with a bandage. This being a blood blister the skin should seal very quickly and heal very quickly as well.

Don't pop blisters at all. The skin over the blister protects you from opportunistic infection. Keep the area clean, cover it with a bandaid and wait for the blood to be reabsorbed.

No, You're not supposed to pop ANY blister. Give it a few days and the blood will re-absorb back into the skin and leave a small scab.

Well, you can with a sterile needle or small scissors. It would probably make it more confortable if you do, but, don't remove the skin on it as it will act as a natural barrier for the blister. Just keep it dry and clean.

Nope, it ends up being both painful and unhealthy. Just take my word for it, don't do it.
