Should i pop this blister thats on my finger? its about 1cm in length, and its filled with a clear liquid....BEAN_LARD_MULCH
Yes.
1. Get a needle.
2. Sterilize that needle. Either put it over a flame for a little bit or use alcohol.
3. At the very edge of the blister, prick the blister and remove the needle.
4. Squeeze out all the clear liquid. This is puss. What happens on a blister is that the skin is actually removed from the tissue. It fills with puss and other bodily fluids. If not drained, it can become infected. If you use a dirty needle, however, it will become infected.
5. Put some ointment on a bandaid and bandage the blister.

It actually isn't pus.  Pus is a combination of living and dead white blood cells.  If the blister were to have pus in it
it would already be infected.  The clear liquid is you blood plasma and lymph fluid.  It has some platlets in it so it is sticky when drying up.
And it is safer to leave the blister un-popped.  The skin provides a barrier.
