Blister Care

How to handle a blister?

Closed blisters:
If the blister causes no excessive pain, it’s much better to leave it like it is. Piercing the blister can cause secondary Infections. Apply a soft silicone dressing with ReSkin technology over the blister.

If necessary, drain the blister without removing the top portion of it. The best way to do this is to clean a needle with alcohol, then pierce the blister in at least two places. Put pressure on the cap of the blister to squeeze out the fluid. Once drained it is important to not remove the cap as this acts as a protective barrier against the raw skin that is on the bottom of the blister.

Open blisters:
It is important to cleanse or disinfect the wound as well as the surrounding skin. Apply a soft silicone dressing with ReSkin technology over the wound.
