Answers:
1st, don't remove the skin from blisters!. I suspect that you figgured out that is a big mistake from the pain level but it also allows infections to start!.
The fluid in a blister helps protect it!. If you feel you must drain the fluid use a pin that has been sterilized to poke it near an edge and gently push the fluid out!.
Do NOT use chapstick!. It has no bennificial properties for this!.
Bandage it with some antibiotic ointment!. My favorite bandage for blisters are the Nexcare extra cushion knee and elbow bandages (http://www!.walgreens!.com/store/product!.j!.!.!.
The adhesive all the way around the pad holds it in place so that your skates don't keep it rubbing over the blister!.
If you had left the blister intact, this could be left on a long time!.
If you cannot do that, try two normal bandages in an X!. The outer bandage keeps the inner one from being shifted!.
There is a more expensive product that works as an artificial skin for protecting blisters and road rash!. Tegaderm
It is waterproof and really adhears to the skin well but comes off easily when you want it to!.

If you put it on right away, the wound will ooz under it and it will form a blister like shape!. You will need to replace it after a few days!.
If you wait for the oozing to stop, either with regular bandages or a first application, you can leave it on for a week!. Saves time on replacing bandages and most things heal faster with it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

This may sound crazy, but I use chapstick and it worked great when I got ankle blisters from new shoes!. My blisters weren't big, mostly just rubbed off skin!. Let the blisters air dry ,then rub some chapstick on your finger and spread it on gently!.
I used the moisturizing chapstick in the blue tube!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

An antibacterial ceam like neosporin is a must; broken blisters get infected very easily!. Keep it covered with a band-aid as well!. Every day wash it gently with soap and warm water, apply a new layer of neosporin, and put on a fresh band-aid!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
