If I ever pop a blister by puncturing the dead skin with something like a needle to let the fluid out, it seems like several hours later, the same dead skin is pocketing fluid again. Why is that? Dead skin shouldn’t be able to heal like that, right? Shouldn’t the hole remain there?

The cells underneath the part that was damaged and separated are leaky because they’re not supposed to be on the outside of your body. The burnt layer is still structurally intact but not attached to the underlying layer that’s leaking and any unnatural space in your body will want to fill with fluid.
