No, You Shouldn't! Popping them, while tempting, will only prolong the healing process. It can also cause worse scarring.

It is recommended that you take an antiviral agent if you have shingles. Keep the skin clean. Do not go swimming or to the gym. When the rash dries, you can go back to your regular activities.

Can you pop Painfull 2nd degree sunburn waterblisters with yellow pus?

Pain in sunburn does NOT usually come from the blisters so there is no need to pop them. The pain comes from disrupted pain sensors in the skin that are firing nearly continually. Something like "nupercainal" ointment will take the pain away for awhile. Aloe Vera is probably the best, but needs to be applied frequently. HOWEVER, you should not put such salves on "broken skin" - which is what you would have if you popped blisters. It is best NOT to pop blisters. The most significant thing to watch for in a burn is infection - popping blisters breaks the skin barrier and allows bacteria to enter inside the skin and burn. IF, the blisters pop on their own or accidentally, the burn must be kept clean and as sterile as possible. Burn and/or antibacterial creams and ointments should be applied and covered with sterile bandage. IF there is sign of pus, or reddening around the edges, or it is not healing by 2 - 3 days you need to see a doctor about some antibiotics. you can pop the pus with a needle but make sure you clean it really good
