NO, don't use any of those. Just clean it with soap and water don't break the skin and leave it alone. If the blister is already open, again clean with soap and water, pat dry if you have an antibiotic ointment use that and cover with a band aid. Never use alcohol either the drinking or rubbing kind and never never use nail polish remover, that is acetone that can cause poisoning.

are you joking? no to all of the above!
don't clean it with alcohol at all, in fact don't even use Hydrogen peroxide.
just clean it well with soap & water, then put on some antiseptic salve like Neosporin or equivalent. I have had success with medicated Vaseline even. cover with bandage. keep it clean and make sure air gets to it, and get new shoes.. or use those blister pads that Dr. Scholls makes, those are great. moleskin works too.

BTW, hydrogen peroxide and rubbing alcohol (70% isoproyl alcohol) which people use on skin problems are NOTHING like one another. But both are pretty cheap and readily available, if you go to the store.

Did you burst the blister? If the blister is still intact don't burst it. Otherwise unless there's dirt in it just cover it. If there's dirt in it clean it with soap and water.

I wouldn't use either. Good old soap and warm water will cleanse it without damaging the good skin, like those other things will do.

it depends on the type of blister that you have whether or not to use rubbing alcohol... i would not recommend finger nail polish remover or drinking alcohol... you could try to use urine on it that could be ok...

NOOOOOO! It'll burn like hell. Use dial or safeguard soap or some other antibiotic soap.
