Go to CVS, RiteAid, where ever... Your fav drug store. Buy some of those elastic, ace bandage-like, adheasvie bandages...
They SHOULD make it tolerable. |

| | | | i just got a blood blister on the side of my thumb! What should I do???
As for the origianl question. I would try new skin if its a small blister. you can buy it at any market. its 98% alchohol but is basically a liquid bandage. |

But really.. I might be a mutant, but my fingers are still as soft as pillows.. No calluses to be seen.. I've never had a blister, ever, or even recieved any pain from playing bass for an extended period of time.. I went on vacation for a few weeks, and only played bass a total of three times (for about 10 minutes each time) when we walked by an El Salvadorian guitar shop (a rarity).

but anyways, i dont pop my blood blisters. i just let them dry up, and then they dont hurt anymore. and then like 2 weeks later, a layer of skin will peel off and your finger will re-generate itself.
