How to drain a blister
To relieve blister-related pain, drain the fluid while leaving the overlying skin intact. Here's how:

Wash your hands and the blister with soap and warm water.
Swab the blister with iodine or rubbing alcohol.
Clean a sharp needle with rubbing alcohol.
Use the needle to prick the blister in several spots near the edge. Let the fluid drain, but leave the overlying skin in place.
Apply an ointment such as petroleum jelly or a cream antibiotic to the blister and cover it with a nonstick gauze bandage. If a rash appears, stop using the ointment.
Follow-up care. Check the area every day for infection. After several days, use a tweezers and scissors sterilized with rubbing alcohol to cut away the dead skin. Apply more ointment and a bandage.
