Actually this advice is SO bad, it's probably worth a non-flippant reply. When I stacked my bike a few weeks ago, I got the mother of all blood pockets under my skin. It was so large you could probably see it from orbit. When I attended the walk in centre, I was told that doctors emphatically do NOT pop them as it makes them far more liable to infection. In fact the only time they do drain blood blisters is when they are infected (and then they pump them full of intravenous antibiotics).
Do NOT do this unless you fancy septicaemia..... which I'll give you is pretty unlikely for a wound that size even if it was a blood blister (which it wasn't).
And Dettol? Jesus that's a recipe for blood poisoning if I ever heard one
LMAO, I can't believe the namby-pamby replies I am reading.
I bet you lot run to the GP when you get a papercut!
I have recieved a lot of these types of blood blisters and most of them were on my toes when I wore cheap trainers during my school days. If you don't bleed the black blood, it will dry into a solid lump and then it will sink under the layers of your skin and it will remain there for a long time!
Of course, it's the OP's decision at the end of the day
Quite the opposite - the general opinion in this thread seems to be to just leave it as it and seek medical attention only if the wound becomes infected. Which seems sensible to me.
No, a blood blister will naturally pass *upwards* through the layers of skin as you grow more (you know that most household dust is skin, right?) and work it's way out. It's a puncture wound anyways, not a blood blister.I have recieved a lot of these types of blood blisters and most of them were on my toes when I wore cheap trainers during my school days.

Again: if you're in any doubt whatsoever about any form of condition or injury you should seek *qualified* medical advice.
Still, I guess it's probably all the fault of immigrants...
Nah, immigrants are staffing our health service, they know how to deal with a puncture wound (I hope).
Edit to add: On some forums that first picture would have been photoshopped to heck and back, very brave OP
Well, you can tell this is a tech web site, just one mention of a screwdriver and everyone pops in to post!

That isn't stabbing a finger with a screwdriver, this is
(had already cut it with a stanley knife the day before so the use of the F word was deemed necessary, damn brake pad springs)
Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack
off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.
That looks like something out of hellraiser!
On a serious note; the op hasn't hasn't posted. You don't think he could be dead?

I still have scars from slicing my thumb with a chisel during woodworking at school. Not sure if it even merited a plaster at the time.
We were tough in those days
(Now there would be a health and safety enquiry, I'd be taken to A&E and the school would be closed for a day)

I would have probably been told off for letting it slip and cut myself!

They probably already have been. Most of the fun (and therefore slightly dangerous) things at school seem to have gone. Chemistry and physics seem very bland now.
Yes, I think that probably happened as well - twice: once by the teacher and again when I got home!

Slightly off topic but just as often as someone a generation or older than me will say something like "Health and Safety has gone crazy!" as they will say "Eeee god, the stuff we use to do"!
There's no winning sometimes!
I left secondary school about 5 years ago (I should probably start acting like an adult now!) but I remember doing plenty of woodwork and metalwork. Not much chiselling but plenty of powered saw, rotatory sanders and even some brazing! When we used brazing was to make little hammers and if we were quick we were allowed to make our own screwdrivers, which just consisted of a metal rod being made white hot then smashed with a hammer on an anvil, by us!!They probably already have been.
