Answers:
If you have to pop it:

Use a sterilized needle or razor blade (to sterilize it, put the point or edge in a flame until it is red hot, or rinse it in alcohol)..

Wash the area thoroughly, then make a small hole and gently squeeze out the clear fluid..

Apply a dab of an antibiotic ointment with polymixin B and/or bacitracin to help protect against infection.. Use caution with ointments that have neomycin in them because they are more likely to cause an allergic reaction..

If the fluid is white or yellow, the blister may be infected and needs medical attention..

Do not remove the skin over a broken blister.. The new skin underneath needs this protective cover..

Look for signs of infection to develop.. These include pus drainage, red or warm skin surrounding the blister, or red streaks leading away from the blister..

GOOD LUCK at the Golf Tournament.. I'm sure you'll rock the tournament, sore thumb or not!Health Question & Answer

Dont rip it off completely.. just get a needle and punch a whole in it so all the water comes out.. it wont hurt at all in the middle cause the skin's dead there completely.. it hurts alot if u completely take the skin off.. i know because i do kenso and i get blisters(aka waterballon......) all the timeHealth Question & Answer

take a straight pin and pop it...... let the water drain out --- DON'T TEAR OFF THE SKIN!!!! If you put a bandaid over it, it should heal up nicely -- I get those too and that's the only thing that works for me........ oh! and put some neosporen on it to speed up healing!Health Question & Answer

Do NOT pop it--it will go away by itself, and the fluid will be reabsorbed.. If you pop it you will be too sore to play, and you could risk infection.. Leave it alone!
