Treating Blisters

photo credit: Daniel Morris   Blister Treatment Tips:  1)  With a sterile needle, drain the blister but make sure you pierce the side of the blister and not the center.  The layer of dead skin in the middle should be left intact.  Dab an ointment on the entire area.  2)  A blister on a finger or between your fingers can be bandaged which will provide ample protection and comfort.  3)  “Moleskin” is a product that can be cut to fit any area and is ideal to use for blisters on the palm of the hand.  4)  Tincture of benzoin, which is an antiseptic liquid, can be applied to blisters on the palm or heel of the hand.  5)   Try padded bandages or a product called OpSite, to cover the raw area/s.
