If you have a blister do not pop it with a needle or anything.Just leave it alone so it can heal. If you pop the blister it allows bacteria in. But if it is uncomfortably tight, pop it with a very CLEAN needle afterward apply some peroxide or neospine and put a band aid on top of it, Repeat until healed.

Blisters on your fingers are best treated by lancing them with a sterilized needle. Insert the needle in the side of the blister and pull up, slicing through the skin. Immediately clean with disinfectant and bandage, to prevent infection.

Soak them in warm water to help heal the blisters and keep them covered to ward off any infection that may occur.

If they haven't burst and are filled with liquid, use a STERILIZED needle to gently pop the blisted and drain excess fluid. Now treat it with anti-septic and simply dress the wound.

One thing you should try to do is don't open the blisters. If they break anyway on their own that's fine. A light dressing should be applied to blisters and the area keep as clean as possible. Big blisters may need medical attention because of the risk of an infection.

Wash your hands with disinfectant soap. Make a small incision at the base of the blister but do not remove the skin. Using a gloved finger push the fluid out. Then apply antibiotic ointment and a bandage. Make sure to reapply the ointment and bandage daily to keep it from getting infected.

Cover them with a band-aide and wait for the fluids to reabsorb on their own. Do this for two reasons: If you are going to be getting blisters a lot, they will turn into a callus and stop hurting. And open wounds on your fingers are more inclined to infection.

If you do not know whats causing them you need to get in and see your doctor right away so they can give you a diagnoses and they will also give you stuff to help treat them as well as a long term treatment program if that is needed for you.

Blisters on the fingers can be cured with the help of massaging the swelling, which may be filled with liquid, with little bit hot mustard oil at least four times a day.
