What should I do with it?

This may sound ridiculous, but it works. Put a piece of lettuce on the blister, then wrap a piece of bandage around the lettuce to keep it in place. In the morning you will find the blister has flattened out, and should be a lot less painful. I was told to do this year's ago, didn't believe it, but tried it , result was amazing. (The blister should not be broken to try this, only works on one filled with fluid).

I used to us Surgical Spirit on blisters, this dries them up & usually stops them "popping". Keeping it covered is probably safest.

christinefrance, how very dare you suggest that it might be my nose picking finger, I'll have you know that I have staff to do that, equipped with rose scented gloves, and special monogrammed receptacles in which to place any items that they might find within my nasal cavity!

Aloe Vera plant kept on kitchen window sill here too, and another in the bathroom for shaving nicks (DH, not me). Forms a protective layer to exclude air, germs etc. Works well on insect bites too.

don't know how l can have shower without getting my arm wet, unless l cling film my arm, any ideas are welcome, lm seeing the nurse again tomoro but not until 3pm

A blister forms to protect the skin underneath. It is natures way of sorting things out and repairing the damage.
If left alone, and protected, the fluid is reabsorbed and the area will heal completely.
Never burst a blister.
Poor You. ?.

wish l had known not to put anything on it. l scalded my arm with steam from the kettle, applied savelon & a dressing, changed it every day & it still had pus coming out 8 days later. l am now on anti biotics cos its infected.

Oh yuk, christinefrance!

Exactly what Elegran said.
Icy water and Acriflex.
I even take Acriflex on holiday.
I don't seem to be able to get through a Sunday without a couple of burns from the oven shelves.

Hope its clearing up now Phoenix, it wasn't your nose picking finger was it?

As a young teen I got a kettle of boiling water over my bare feet ?
The man I was with in his misguided wisdom covered my feet in butter and wrapped then in a clean t-shirt. Needless to say my feet are a bit of a mess. Especially thin skin and can be sore in the summer.
Good luck with your blister ?

Lavender oil works well on blisters!

Glad to hear it wot

Being in a rural location means minor injuries units are a fair distance away, Sarah,

cosafina I did put it under the tap for a while, but probably not long enough, as once I had finished hopping and swearing, I really just wanted to get the bloody dinner dished up and eaten!

Phoenix, you made me laugh!

My daughter uses cling film wrapped tightly round a burn as soon as it happens and the lack of oxygen seems to prevent the burn from developing.

I'm a First Aider and can tell you definitely do not pop it. I'm assuming you didn't run it under the cold tap for 5-10 mins, which might have reduced the formation of the blister.

Best to cover it in clingfilm and wait for it to go down.

Acriflex is brilliant. I always keep a tube in the kitchen

buy some blister plasters they seem to pull the liquid out of the blister without breaking the skin.You'll get them in Boots

Witch hazel gel is magic on burns, if used straight away it stops the stinging and blistering. Applied to the blister it will aid in drying it up more quickly.

Have you chucked out the oven gloves yet?

If you have a local minor injuries unit let them look at it. You don't need an appointment but take a book as you may have to sit and wait a while.They will dress it for you.I was also given a takeaway pack to continue the treatment as these small blisters can get infected so better be safe than sorry.

Don't pop (though you can continue with the expletives if you feel the need!), try to leave it be. Good advice to see the pharmacist too. Good luck!

It seems to be going down, slightly & slowly.

Still managing to keep it un popped!

I have foundthat a compress of tincture of Calendula is absolutely magic for burns.
The pain goes away almost instantly and it heals extremely quickly. Worth a try?
I discovered that when i had cleverly dipped two fingers into an urn of boiling water!

A nice big bandage should ensure that your wound has time to heal, you will not be able to wash up or do anything boring.......I could hang that out for a fortnight of martyrdom.

Never pop a blister,ice and cold water the best things but it takes ages to cool a burn down, I shall buy some Acfriflex now I had forgotten that stuff but living alone have struggled with the Aloe vera plant in times of need.........

I find sitting with my feet up, good book and bar of chocolate helps with practiclly everything, nice holiday brochure can rive useful.......tell your OH I said so.
