Answers:

You should never pop a blister-it could get infected!

cut a piece of surgical guaze to fit the blister then cover with a piece of self adhesive mole skin to protect it-the guage will keep the mole skin from sticking to the blister -take it off at night so the blister can "breath".

You can find mole skin in the shoe department at department stores like walmark etc. It is a "leather like" material that looks like suede.

Hope this helps.
