0:00 - INTRO
To give your blister the best treatment, you need to know what stage it's at. Take a look at your blister roof. Is it intact, torn or deroofed?

0:01 - BLISTER ROOF INTACT
A blister will start off with his roof intact. How long it remains intact is subject to many variables. On the bright side, the best thing about an intact blister roof - if there is a good thing about a blister - is it can't get infected if it stays like this. Because the roof is intact, and that skin is keeping the blister fluid in AND keeping germs out. So protecting the blister roof is our main concern right now by putting an island dressing on it - maybe a Bandaid or Cutiplast - anything where there's an absorbent, non-stick pad surrounded by tape on all sides. Just make sure there's no tape on your blister roof. I mean, you don't want to rip the blister roof off when you take it off so make sure there's nothing sticking to the blister roof.

*All in all, the aim of treating this blister is to protect his roof.*

2:11 - BLISTER ROOF TORN
What happens if you don't protect your intact blister roof? It will tear. And that's where the alarm bells start ringing. Because as soon as it tears, it's open to infection. So we need to do everything we did for the last blister. PLUS, now we need to use an antiseptic to kill any germs lurking around. I prefer a liquid for this rather than a cream or ointment. Betadine or povidone iodine is my favourite. AND we need to monitor it closely for signs of infection. And a quick tip - Ideally, keep the torn blister roof in place because that skin provides some protection to the raw blister base.

*All in all, the aim of treating this blister is to prevent infection.*

2:52 - DEROOFED BLISTER
What happens if you don't do enough to protect your torn blister roof? His roof will rub right off and you'll be left with a red raw sore called a Deroofed blister. A deroofed blister is more painful, more open to infection and takes longer to heal. So do all the things you did for the last blister, but now there's a focus on healing. Because we need strong, flexible, resilient skin to grow back over that raw blister base. That's what your dressing provides - a moist wound environment. You can use an island dressing for this blister. But a hydrocolloid like Compeed is the dressing of choice for these blisters.

*All in all, the aim of treating this blister is to get good skin healing.*
