Answers:
2 choices (1) leave it as is and in about a week it will dry up on its own or (2) take a needle and sterilize it with alcohol then prick a small hole in it so the blood can drain out, after blood is drained wash thoroughly, clean with peroxide and leave it to heal. I had one on my little toe last week where I managed to stump it on my computer desk leg. I pricked it and it was fine not even sore.Health Question & Answer
When I got a blood blister from Karate, the only thing I was told to do was keep it completely unharmed. I mean, don't let any pressure put on it or anything...give it time and wait for the body to reabsorb the blood.
If you do choose to pop it and drain it, be very careful of infection...because this hurts a LOT. Good luck!Health Question & Answer

Ice packs on it right away, on and off 10 minutes of interval. Make sure you can walk w/o difficulty .? I'm concerned about a possible bone fracture... Do you have a tongue blade or two to secure your injured toe .? Or drug stores have those slip on type of splints. If it gets purplish and a definite signs of fracture .? You 'll have to see a physician at a nearby immediate care center. Take care of your toe.Health Question & Answer
Poke a hole in it with a needle or safety pin and carefully squeeze out all the pus and blood. After that, take some bleach and a clean (preferably white) cloth and dab some bleach on the loose skin area. it will heal by tomorrow afternoon. I have done this twice and it really works....Health Question & Answer
