Do NOT use a liquid bandage! Just trust me, it will bring tears to a grown adult. Do not drain the blister, but, if you must, drain at the bottom and it will drain. Do not remove the overlying skin. If you have access to an adhesive donut bandage, place it over the blister for protection and comfort.

Puncture gently with clean & sterilized needle and place a tiny bit of Neosporin or other similar ointment and place a corn pad (inner portion of circular removed) and place over the blister until it heals. Cover with band-aid if you cannot get the adhesive to stick appropriately (not sure but generic (dollar store types) of band-aids work better than name brands and a whole lot cheaper). Used to be a ballet dancer and this really helped with the rubbing and the pain.

TIP ONLY: Do NOT use one of those liquid bandages over a pierced blister! Good Lord, the pain is enough to send even someone with a high pain threshold to suffer through and, you will suffer, trust me.
