Chew it off.. kidding. Popping yields much higher risk of infection. If for some reason you must, cut the skin off and put some kind of antibiotic cream on it

You're better off leaving it alone. Go to the drug store and get something to put on burns. I assume that's how you got it.

it will actually heal faster if left alone. It hwill hurt bad for a couple hours, then the blister will actually protect the burn. I burnt myself rescently and within a week the blister had receeded completely and fell off. The skin underneath was healed enough not to hurt. It helps.

If its bubbling then you got a second degree burn. Popping the bubble is going to give you a serious infection.

Leave it alone. People don't give their bodies enough credit for its ability to self-heal.

Dont! The pus in the blister is sterile so it protects the wound. My opinion, dont do it and leave it be.
