Blister plasters. Made by scholl, your chemist will have them. They're in a square, green plastic box.

get an ice pack on it and make sure you bandage it!

Rubbish, use a clean needle, its unlikely to get infected if its only through a few layers of skin, squeeze all the blood out and then it will hurt a lot less, you may need to be persistant to get all the fluid out!

If they're really deep your gonna have to live with it though.

yep it can get infected...make sure you wrap it up and maybe apply some antiseptic ointment on it...good luck mate!

I've got some advice: don't be a wuss!

I played basketball barefoot on hot tarmac for an hour about a week ago and if you just ignore them they'll go away.

disifected the needle by heating it up untill red hot on the cooker (only the tip) wait for it to cool naturally and the pop the blister, making sure you put a plaster on immediatly
