Leave it alone. Leave it alone. Leave it alone. Leave it alone. Leave it alone. Leave it alone. Leave it alone. Leave it alone.
I'm sorry about that, but I'm really worried about you. Leave it alone!! Is it bothering you that much? It doesn't need to be speeded up. Your body will naturally heal itself, don't stick a needle, even if you sterilize it, bacteria may still breed in the open area. Just take care to keep it clean and disinfected. Take care and good luck!

Sterilise a sewing needle and gently pierce through it making a tiny tiny hole, don't disturb too much of the skin you'll need it! Now drain it and press the two layers of skin together letting them dry. You might need to do this a couple of times but it will heal MUCH quicker.

If it just occured, you can stick a sterile needle through the nail and let it drain to relieve pressure. If it's more than 24 hours old, you pretty much just have to let it grow out on its own. Soaking your foot in warm water may help absorb it a tiny bit faster, but that's about all you can do. Just protect it from getting injured or from having pressure put on the toe until it's healed.

leave it alone. anytype of blister is basically the skin and the tissue healing itself. if you pop it or pick at it you are opening the area for infection and other types of germs.

Sterilise a very fine needle, and try very gently, to release some of the blood to release the pressure. Also try a couple of drops of lavender essential oil on it; it will reduce inflammation; at night, take a couple of neurofen going to bed, it will help any swelling go down.

by letting the air get to it, it needs to be dry as the thing keeping it a blister is the pus in it, so avoid sweaty tight shoes!!xx

your best to leave it alone, it will eventually go. The blister has natural saline which kills germs. Don't think that you should try to burst it.
