Yes, but proceed with caution to avoid infection. A good way to release the fluid is to use a sterile needle to poke the blister at one end, while gently applying pressure to the opposite end to force out any remaining fluid. DO NOT tear away the flap of skin over the blister, as it will leave raw skin exposed. Allowing the blister to break open on its own may not only be more painful, but may also lead to infection and take longer to heal.

∙ 11y agoNo you're not supposed to....you want to wait for it to heal on its own. It is annoying and you might REALLLYY want to..but DON'T. A callous will form which will go away eventually if you don't use it...and if you put lotion on it. Also if you pop the blister it may get infected...the water inside it is trying to heal...so leave it alone.

∙ 10y agoThey tell you not to because an open wound can lead to infection or scarring of the skin. However, it is a myth that the liquid inside will spread the reaction. People think that because if you do not clean the area well you may still have the oil that started the reaction still on your skin and in the process of popping it you may spread that oil around simply because you are contacting your skin.
I personally pop the blisters and then dry them out with rubbing alcohol and make sure they don't get infected because I can not stand them. If you can avoid it however you probably should not.
