Blisters on toes and fingers, what do you do with it?

[MassageParlour]

As a drummer I always develop blisters on my toes and fingers. Afterwards my itchy finger would take a sewing needle heat it up and pop those nasty blisters. I hate wearing gloves or even shoe during drumming.
Is there any medication to prevent blisters? Any good medication to cure those blisters?
Cause now I'm walking as though as someone had roughly tackled me in a soccer match.

There are blister removal plasters sold in some pharmacies. You can try looking there.

Are you suppose to pop them?!

 

[reyrey]

actualli leave it be..
the skin will sorta peel off after sometime and the new skin will be tougher than the older one..
and besides.. peeling a fresh blister is just.. ouch..

Haha that's what I do too man... these things have lots of water in them. It's friggin cool to see the water spurt out like some mini fire hydrant.

Oh, the best part is if the blister miraculously "forms back" the next day (i.e. if u thought that irritating sac of water was gone. u
re wrong).

RE-KILL THEM.

Maybe you should also see if your sticking technique is wrong. Been playing for over a year and haven't had blister problems yet.

leave them to dry la dont put plaster. if u put plaster it will take damn long to heal

 

[ynwa_dennis]

maybe can relax a lil. and maybe the way you hold the sticks is wrong.

depends what is yr blister type. there are 2 type, one is the no so server blister, which inside no water one. the other version is the one with water. The one with water, its better to poke and let the water out, it will heal faster.

And how to prevent it . . .

erm when the skin on that area get thicker and thicker

Ok I've done experiment on my blisters. just leave those small blisters that doesn't needs popping. it will heal within the next day. Now I've got those small similar blisters on both of my hands. I so call crack the other blisters and leave the other one alone. Kazaam..the one that I did not meddle with healed. Damn I am Wolverine. :lol:
But unfortunately the bigger blisters on my foot (it looks like mini macritchie reservoir, with crater and watery substance in it) does not heal properly cause I've popped it and it is quite a painful exposed meat. 8O
And ya thanks to your advise, I went to Guardian and bought a blister plaster. It has hydrocolloid subsance. The plaster looks like a dried up chewing gum gonna try it later.
Don't know whether my sticking sucks. Been practising LOG songs, maybe due to that. But even I play Aerosmith songs also like that leh.
