Blisters should not be pricked unless they are painful. Basically, a blister is when the top layer of skin is damaged, and your body's reaction is to "replace" the skin with new skin. You'll notice that the blister is filled with liquid if you puncture it, and that's because the water helps the new layer of skin "develop". The new layer skin is vulnerable and opening up the blister during the healing process opens up the wound area to infection and can slow the process.

∙ 8y agoA blister is basically your body's way of repairing damaged parts of the skin.
Think of it like this:
You're hiking and you have thin socks or whatever so your feet rub inside your boot and a blister pops up. The top part of the blister is basically your damaged skin. Under that is new skin being prepped to replace the damaged skin. The water is there to act as kind of a cushion and to help speed up the healing process. When you pop the blister, the water leaks out, slowing the healing process, and then you've also created a hole in your skin, which makes the area more suspectable to infection.
Just don't do it...

∙ 8y agoIf you pick the blister open, you will actually put bacteria that is on your fingers into the wound underneath. That will cause an infection. The blister with its' fluid actually acts as a band aide. So leave it alone.

You can also develop a malignant melanoma which is essentially skin cancer. You should really just wear sun cream any time you are out in the sun with a high spf, low spf's are not as good at protecting against skin cancer.
