Should You Pop Bullae?

Don't try to burst or pop your blisters on your own. If you break the skin to drain your bullae, you risk allowing bacteria into the wounds. This can lead to an infection or make your condition worse.

Is it better to pop a blister or leave it?

Ideally, nothing. Blisters take roughly 7-10 days to heal and usually leave no scar. However, they can become infected if exposed to bacteria. If you don't pop a blister, it remains a sterile environment, virtually eliminating any risks of infection.

How long do Bullae last?

Bullous pemphigoid often goes away on its own in a few months, but may take as many as five years to resolve. Treatment usually helps heal the blisters and ease any itching.
