huge blister on my foot!

i put a small pinhole in one side and push the water out the other leaving the top on , that way it dry's from the bottom up and you have that layer of top skin to protect from infection.

I generally pop it with a sterilized pin and then cover it with antibiotic ointment and a bandaid. I've never experienced a blister that dried up on its own. They generally pop with or without my assistance.

Yes I am late responding Kate and by now the blister should be long gone and hopefully it healed without any trouble, or side effects, at all. When I get a blister I deal with it straight away because thelast thing I need when I am driving the truck is to have a sore foot. So I always carry a sterilised needle with me in the small first aid kit I have in the truck. I put a small hole in the blister and make sure that all the fluid is drained out, then wash it in some salty water solution (carry that in a bottle in the first aid kit. Then finally I use a small syringe and put some mecurichrome into the "blister" so that dries it out. Yes it does hurt a bit but the mecurichrome is sterilised and is used on wounds as a sort of antibiotic. At least that way I know that it will heal. Then I cover it with a bandaid and wear clean socks etc. Whenever I stop, I remove my shoes and socks and also take the bandaid off so that the air gets to the area and helps dry it out for a speedier recovery.

I think I've ever had one blister on my foot and I tried to leave it alone, but it rubbed open.
