- Apply a loose bandage. Secure the bandage so the tape does not touch the blister. Do not wrap tape completely around a hand, arm, foot, or leg because it could cut off the blood supply if the limb swells. If the tape is too tight, you may develop symptoms below the level of the tape, such as numbness, tingling, pain, or cool and pale or swollen skin.
- Bursting a blister to get the fluid out is not recommended as long as the fluid within remains clear, possibly with a slight yellowish tint. Instead, protect the area for as long as possible using "doughnut" -type pads that surround the blister but are open in the center so the blister itself remains uncovered. Eventually, the fluid will be reabsorbed by the body and the blister will be healed.
- If a blister bursts, your doctor may recommended that you apply silver sulfadiazine and keep the injury covered with a bandage. Silver sulfadiazine is effective against Pseudomonas bacteria, the most common type of bacteria found in weeping-type wounds. It is also painless to sensitive raw skin. Other anti-infective agents, such as povidone-iodine and mafenide, are generally reserved for more serious and deeply infected wounds, as they can both be painful and tend to slow the growth of new skin.
- If a burst blister gets badly infected, systemic oral antibiotics may be in order.
- If the blister is in an area where pressure is applied, such as on the bottom of your foot, protect it with a doughnut-shaped moleskin pad. Leave the area over the blister open.
- Do not wear the shoes or do the activity that caused a friction blister until the blister heals.
