How do blisters “heal”?

215 views

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?

You shouldn’t pop the blister. You should wash it gently and then wrap it to protect the blister and keep it from getting dirty. The blister is your body healing itself.
