Are there any remedies for blood blisters?
There are no real remedies except letting it heal. A blood blister usually develops following a smashing or pinching injury. There’s a small skin injury that pumps blood between the skin layers, raising up a blister of blood. If there are no other signs of a severe injury, blood blisters can usually be treated at home. See the doctor if there is: -persistent severe pain -inability to use the injured part -numbness or unexplained weakness Immediate care: Leave the blister alone. Elevate the injured area. Apply a cold pack. When pain subsides, apply padding or a splint to protect the injured area. Ongoing care: Keep the wound clean, dry, and protected from chafing and bumping. Change the dressing every day, or whenever it accidentally gets dirty. After two days, you can resume washing (but always put a dry bandage on afterwards). When the wound looks like normal skin and feels like normal skin you can stop bandaging. Expect about 7 to 14 days for healing. The old skin can be snipped off
