if you get a blister most people assume you're supposed to pop them but should you actually do this well blisters usually form on a spot of your skin that has become damaged and inside the bubble there is a small pocket of clear fluid that builds up this fluid actually protects and heals the skin underneath acting as a barrier to keep it clean but when you pop a blister it exposes the skin prematurely before it has time to properly heal which is why you shouldn't pop them
