Prick bubbles on your finger?

As a rule, a bladder should not be punctured. The reason for this is that the puncture site is an entry point for germs and bacteria. Hands or fingers in particular come into contact with many surfaces or objects contaminated with germs in everyday life, so the risk of infection is relatively high.

In addition, the needle used to puncture the bladder can itself be contaminated with germs. Furthermore, piercing the bladder has no positive influence on the healing process. The bladder does not heal faster than if you do not puncture it and let the body’s own healing processes work.

In addition, the skin above the blister and the fluid it contains provides a protective function that not only protects the underlying sensitive skin from germs, but also from pressure loads. If the bladder is punctured and fluid leaks out, the padding falls away due to the fluid, so that the pain becomes stronger when touched. However, if the blister on the finger is so tightly filled that it is extremely painful and annoying, it can be opened exceptionally. However, only if the prerequisites for sterile working are met, followed by sufficient disinfection and the area is covered with a special blister plaster.
