The only thing I found was this:
Follow these steps to safely drain a blister and minimize your risk of infection:
- Wash your hands and the blister. Wash your hands with soap and warm water. Clean the surface of the blister thoroughly with alcohol, iodine, or an antiseptic wash.
- Disinfect a needle with alcohol. Dip a needle in rubbing alcohol to disinfect it.
- Carefully puncture the blister. Poke three or four shallow holes around the edge of the blister. Allow the fluid to drain out.
- Cover the blister with ointment. Apply an ointment, such as petroleum jelly, to the blister.
- Apply a dressing. Cover the blister tightly with a bandage or gauze. You want the intact roof to press against the underlying skin.
- Repeat. Blisters tend to fill back up quickly. You may need to perform these steps every six to eight hours for the first 24 hours. After that, change the dressing and apply ointment daily.
