Remedies for finger blister
The best thing to do with such blisters is to leave them alone. Trying anything like lancing or trying to squeeze out the water from them can lead to a slowdown of healing, and worse, infection. Treat the blister carefully, and ensure that it does not burst for as long as possible, because blisters indicate second degree burns that can actually turn serious and infect you.
Do remember that the watery substance trapped in the blister is actually helping your burn to heal. Once the cover of the blister turns red, it will burst on its own and drain. This is the best way to treat a burn blister.
For relief from the pain, you can apply toothpaste to a blister. A peppermint toothpaste is the best of all. It will cool down the skin and provide relief, and the fluoride is believed to act as a healing agent. You can also ice it regularly, but remember to do this only after the skin covering it has begun to thicken. This would indicate that the healing process has begun and is well underway. Applying aloe vera gel is also a good way to provide relief, as is a paste of olive oil and peppermint leaves. Milk cream is also a soothing application on a burn blister.
