Is a blister plaster on an open blister a good idea?
Many people know that a blister plaster is an effective way to treat a closed blister, but is it also a good idea to apply a blister plaster to an open blister? If a blister has broken, you can indeed use a blister plaster. It is important that you thoroughly disinfect the wound and the surrounding skin before covering the broken blister. If you do not do this, there is a chance that a nasty infection will develop. After all, you then enclose the open blister, including dirt from outside, under the plaster. For an open blister, it is advisable to choose a plaster that cannot adhere to the wound.
