How to get rid of a
Blister On Your Thumb

00:01Many times throughout the course of working many of us develop blisters, especially on

00:06the fingers or other regions of the body. Hi, I'm Captain Joe Bruni, and what we're

00:10going to discuss is the treatment of the common blister. The common blister will present itself

00:17as a raised, whitish patch area filled with fluid. Blisters should not be broken or popped

00:24in any way as an opening in the skin can invite bacteria and infection to ensue. Take some

00:33type of lavender oil and apply the lavender oil to the blister area to help add nutrients

00:42to the skin and promote healing. After the application of lavender oil some type of small

00:50bandage or Band-Aid can be applied to the blister area if it is small in nature. If

00:56it's a large blister area in nature some type of gauze pad can be applied and then taped

01:05down in place to help avoid further friction of the site or that area, placing the gauze

01:13over the blister area and taping it down with some type of medical tape until the fluid

01:19from within the blister reabsorbs back into the body. After a few days the blister will

01:24heal itself and the skin will toughen up in that area so the bandages will no longer be

01:30needed. Blisters are never fun and they are a way to invite infection if they are broken

01:37open or popped to get the fluid out of them. You always want to avoid breaking the blister.

01:45I'm Captain Joe Bruni, stay safe, and we'll see you next time.
