Is it better to pop the blisters on ant bites or leave them alone?


Question:
Yesterday morning I stepped in an ant pile in the dark and I have around 30 ant bites on my feet and legs that itch really bad and I was wondering if it would make them feel better if I popped them.

Answers:
Popping things like bug bites or boils instead of a doctor doing it can be a bad thing. I'd recommend against popping them because if you're not careful, and because you have so many right now, they could get dirty and infected.
If they were pianful then I'd say goto a doctor, but since they're itching you shouldnt have an allergic reaction and should but just fine as long as you leave them alone.
Leave them alone to assure proper healing.
You poor thing- they must be driving you insane i know they would me!

Deffo dot pop them though it will only open them up and allow dirt to get through and could cause infection which will make them a lot worse.

for the time being try sit tight and try some ant bite cream or even mosquito bite cream and camomile will certainly help

hope this helps
leave them... no scarring
Definitely leave them alone! You'd just be allowing more bacteria and dirt in if you pop them. Try some cortisone cream or something similar to help stop the itching. You also might want to try taking a Benadryl or similar antishistamine - that might help, too. If it gets worse - try to go to the walk-in medical center or call your doctor. Hope you feel better soon!
it is better if u just leave them alone. there will be no scarring. i would suggest u put some ointment on it too.
