What happens when you pop a blister burn?

You should never pop a burn blister as it is the body's bandaid, but if that occurs use anti-bacterial oitment/cream and wrap it in bandage to prevent infection. When the wound is open, the fluids inside will leak out (which were protecting the newly forming skin beneath) and the burn beneath will be prone to infection. Make sure you get it covered as soon as possible and avoid infection.


Can you pop water blisters?

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.
