To burst or not to burst, That is the question!?

I burnt my thumb and I now have a huge blister! Is it better to leave it or pop it?

Leave it. Put some antibiotic ointment on it and put a band-aid over it. When it does pop on it's own it needs the medicine and covering so it won't get infected. NEVER pop a blister.

hmm depends on the size if it is small then yeah probally so if it is large then no you have to take it to a doctor and theyll drain it for you.

Let it go, it'll leak puss on it own, just make sure you take care of it and clean it well
