Leave the blister and let it pop on it's own

No needles, just will increase risk of infection.

Don't peel the skin off if it pops. It protects the new cells underneath and allows proper healing to occur. The skin will shrivel and dry up on it's own with new skin forming underneath. If anything, you can cover it with some gauze to protect you from banging it on anything.

You dont really want to dry out cuts/abrasions/etc. Just clean them and put some polysporin on them for a little while. Cuts/blisters need "wet" areas to allow granulation tissue (new skin) to travel across the wound bed to heal.

How's that for too much info.
