Tea Tree oil can help blisters heal as it has antibacterial properties.

You can mix tea tree oil with a carrier oil and apply it directly to the skin.

You can also dilute tea tree oil with water and use it as an antibacterial wash.

The way Epsom salt helps blisters is because of the magnesium which reduces swelling and pain associated with blisters.

Magnesium can help irrigate, cleanse, and dry out blisters which also helps reduce the painful rawness of blisters, while expediting the healing time.

To speed up the healing of a blister.

Apply antibacterial ointment or cream to the blister.

Cover the blister with a bandage or gauze.

Clean and reapply antibacterial ointment daily. Keep the blister covered until it heals.

Wash the area with warm water and gentle soap.
Smooth down the the skin flap that remains.
Apply antibiotic ointment to the area.
Cover the area loosely with a sterile bandage or gauze.

You should put a bandaid on a blister as the bandaid helps to protect the blister from being torn or popped.

As long as it is covered, the wound is protected from infection.

Inside a blister is a fluid called Serum.

The serum leaks in from neighboring tissues as a reaction to injured skin.

If the blister remains unopened, serum can provide natural protection for the skin beneath it.

After popping a blister you need to wash the area where you popped the blister to remove and kill germs and bacteria.

Then apply some hydrogen peroxide to help prevent further infection.

It's always best to leave a blister alone instead of popping the blister.

If you pop the blister the blister could spread due to the bacteria in the blisters.

To get rid of a blister without popping the blister you should put some neosporin on it or some petroleum jelly and cover it with a bandage.

The blister should go away within 5 to 7 days even if you don't try to heal it faster.

For the best healing results of the blister you should cover the blister.

Although you can also let it breathe if you prefer but covering the blister helps promote the healing of the blister and prevents further infection.

To promote healing of the blister and prevent any further infection of the blister you should put some Neosporin on the blister.

Although not necessary, blisters may be covered with a band- aid or other bandage.

Although not necessary, you can use an antibiotic ointment such as Neosporin (triple antibiotic ointment, polysporin (double antibiotic ointment, or Vaseline (petroleum jelly).

Vaseline or other petroleum jelly can help blisters heal.

Plain petroleum jelly or Vaseline is a favorite among dermatologists for the treatment of wounds.

Although the blister itself will act as a covering for the wound, if it happens to break, a person can cover the area with Vaseline and a bandage.

This can promote healing of the blister.

Blisters heal on their own within 1 to 2 weeks.

Blisters take roughly 7-10 days to heal and usually leave no scar.

However, they can become infected if exposed to bacteria.

So avoid popping the blister as it could spread bacteria and make it worse and take longer.

If you don't pop a blister, it remains a sterile environment, virtually eliminating any risks of infection.

Blisters develop to protect damaged skin and help it heal.

They're mostly caused by friction, burns and skin reactions, such as an allergic reaction.

Blood blisters appear when blood vessels in the skin have also been damaged.

Some ways to get rid of a blister and help the blister heal faster are.

   Wash your hands and the blister with soap and warm water.
    Swab the blister with iodine.
    Sterilize a clean, sharp needle by wiping it with rubbing alcohol.
    Use the needle to puncture the blister.
    Apply an ointment such as petroleum jelly to the blister and cover it with a nonstick gauze bandage.

Blisters are fluid-filled sacs on the outer layer of your skin.

They form because of rubbing, heat, or diseases of the skin.

They are most common on your hands and feet.

Other names for blisters are vesicles (usually for smaller blisters) and bulla (for larger blisters).
