I explain what a milkblister is and then offer the possibilities of seeing
their GP or either do it themselves. If they choose ''do it yourself'' I
offer 2 options: soaking and rubbing or pricking it with a sterilised sewing
needle. I educate them that sometie a pricked blister can grow together again
and in that case having the GP remove it is the better option.
I also explain that I could do it for them if I were ''allowed to cut'',
which I am not.

Warmly greeting,
