Rubbing a blister on new shoes or getting sunburned is a mere trifle. After that, blisters with liquid appear on the skin.

Your hands just reach out to puncture the blister. But how safe is it for your health?

Let's try to figure out whether this can be done, and if so, in what case and how to do it correctly.

American dermatologists reassure and say that it is possible to pierce the blister. Especially since walking with a blister is quite painful.

In addition, there is a risk that the blister will burst on its own and microbes will get into the wound if it is not treated in time.

The situation is much the same with sunburn blisters.

How to proceed

1. First, you need to wash the area of skin where the blister appeared with soap.

2. Then you need to take a sterile needle or pin or another suitable instrument, but be sure to disinfect it, and pierce the resulting blister with it.

3. After all the liquid has drained, you can press it lightly to release the remaining moisture, but you do not need to cut off the skin.

But if the callus or blister does not interfere with movement, you can leave it and in a couple of days it will dry out on its own.
