I always thought to leave a blister alone, but have recently read to lance the blister.\nSterizlize a needle with rubbing alcohol.  Poke two holes in teh blister's perimeter.  One at six o'clock and another at 12 o'clock.\nUse a cotton ball and gently apply pressure to drain it.\nCheck the blister 8 hours later to be sure it's fully drained.  If not, repeat the procedure.

Vaseline or some type of medicated lip balm like Blistex

cocoa butter lotion seems to do the trick.  Just apply it nightly or daily and it should go away eventually.

Small, intact blisters that don’t cause discomfort usually need no treatment. Nature’s best protection against infection is a blister’s own skin. \n\nLarger or painful blisters that are intact should be drained without removing the blister’s own skin or roof. First, clean the blister with rubbing alcohol or antibiotic soap and water. Then heat a straight pin or safety pin over a flame until the pin glows red, and allow it to cool before puncturing a small hole at the edge of the blister. Drain the fluid with gentle pressure, then apply an antibiotic ointment and cover with a bandage.\n\nBlisters with large tears should be "unroofed" carefully with fine scissors, and the base should be cleansed thoroughly with soap and water or an antibacterial cleanser. Apply antibiotic ointment and bandage.

The best thing to do is provide some extra padding to prevent anything from rubbing on it, and NOT to pop it.  Right now the layer of skin over the blister is a natural barrier to infection.  And the skin underneath is very sensitive.  It will hurt quite a bit if the overlying skin is removed.\n\nA product called "moleskin" by Dr. Scholl's (and other companies) is a great way to protect blisters.  You can buy it at your local drugstore or here:\nhttp://www.drugstore.com/qxp14287_332828_sespider/dr__scholls/moleskin_plus_4_x_3_38.htm\n\nEventually when the skin underneath is healthy, the blister will open up on its own.\n\nGood Luck

The blister forms for a reason, to protect the skin underneath.  If it pops on it's own accord then so be it.  Cover it with an antibiotic ointment and a bandaid if you like.

Wow, sorry, that sounds really gross.  First of all, quit smoking.  Second, use some lip balm -- Blistex is a great healing ointment.  Maybe try some anti-aging lip treatment -- Clinique makes a good one, you can get it in department stores.  If your lips are really that bad, you might be able to get laser treatments to zap out the discoloration.

Try cocoa butter. Or what you can do is buy Bag Balm. A pic is in my sources but before you go to sleep, put it on your feet, put a plastic bag over your feet and then put on some socks. Make sure you take off the bags before you walk and wash your feet because it's like vaseline. It comes off very hard.

The best way (I work in healthcare) is to use the tried and true method. Soap and water. Be gentle, you do not want to open the blisters. Also, do not personally come in to direct contact with the blisters or affected area. Wear gloves.

Usually, Vaseline works the best.  Put it on at night and let it sink in overnight.  In this morning, dab it with a tissue so it doesn't look greasy.

Well, I don't know the severity of your sunburn...but let me tell you that when I was in high school, I had gotten a sunburn so bad that it was considered a very bad 2nd degree.  I was in misery and had to go to the doctor to get some special cream to put on it.  So if it is that bad please go to the doctor immediately.  Also, small blisters can turn into really big blisters overnight.  So keep a good watch on your skin for blisters.  Also, do not shower in very warm water while you are burnt, as this will worsen the burn as well as the pain.  I also recommend that you use PhysoHex or PhysoDerm soap on the area instead of regular soap when you wash.  There are many types of lotions and sprays out there that help with the pain such as solarcaine.  Aloe is very good for putting the hydration back into the skin, but make sure your skin is dry before applying as wetness on top of the skin with the aloe over it makes blistering worse.\n\nBest of luck to you!!

Depends on why the blisters are there!!  If you don't know, it wouldbe a real good idea to have them check out.  In general you are better off leaving them alone.  If they itch try calamine lotion.  Any open blisters could be covered with an antibiotic ointment to help healing and prevent infection.  Any fluid from the blisters could cause them to spred if there infectious too.  Good Luck.

If it does not bother you to walk on then dont pop. \n\nIf it does bother you to walk on rub the blister with alcohol and rub a needle with alcohol. Make a small hole and let drain. Then cover the blister with a bandage.

GROSSSSS!  First of all, don't walk around barefoot and give it to others.  Go to the doctor to get something for it and try to just wear socks around the house, not shoes, so it can dry out.
