NO...you will open it up to infection if you do. Just clean it, & put a cleans dressing over it. The body will reabsorb the fluid & will keep a wet scab over the site. That will help avoid a bad scar, & keep germs out.

The only time you pop a blister is when it is someplace that it will pop anyway (fingers, feet) due to normal daily activity. Only in that case, you should pop it, use lots of peroxide or alcohol, and keep it bandaged. Blisters get infected much more easily than a normal cut--you really have to take care of them.
If it is just on your arm or someplace where it won't pop over the course of a normal day, don't pop it--keep it bandaged, and change bandages to see if it popped itself.

No - this is your body's response to the tissue damage. Let it heal from the inside out as this is the best way to avoid scarring. Also, opening it up will expose the susceptible tissue to infection.
Good luck.

No, that's a natural and germ-free covering. Let it dry up and heal by itself. If it does accidentally pop, put neosporin or bacitracin and a bandaid on it.

Do not pop... because once you pop it... it will take time to heal... and that area will be susceptible to infection.. Try applying.. Tannic Acid or Flammizine..

YES! preferably try poking it with a hot needle, or tweezers. because it will hurt A LOT MORE if you let it pop on it's own.

definitely not.. if you do you open your body up for infection, and if an infection starts there, you will REALLY be in some pain.....
