Hi Lisa -

If you can avoid it, you shouldn't pop the blisters. Doing so will increase the possibility of infection. The best way to treat this is to keep the rash clean and dry and leave uncovered to promote healing. Sorry - not great advice and I do understand how tough it is when your writing / primary hand is out of action. You should be on the downswing now and those blisters should be going away soon. Good luck!
