How do you get rid of a water bubble on your ankle?

1. Do not pop the blister: Popping the blister can increase the risk of infection.

2. Clean the area: Wash the area around the blister with soap and water. If the skin around the blister is broken, gently clean the area with sterile saline solution.

3. Apply a bandage: Cover the blister with a sterile bandage to protect it from rubbing or further injury.

4. Wear comfortable shoes: Wear shoes that fit well and do not put pressure on the blister.

5. Keep the area dry: Try to keep the area around the blister dry. Moisture can increase the risk of infection.

6. Apply antibiotic cream: Apply a thin layer of antibiotic cream to the area around the blister to prevent infection.

7. Soak in warm water: Soaking the affected area in warm water for 20-30 minutes several times a day can help to reduce swelling and discomfort.

8. Pain relief medication: Over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help to reduce pain and discomfort.

9. Protect from friction: Avoid activities that put pressure or friction on the blister.

10. Monitor for infection: If the blister becomes red, swollen, or oozes pus, it may be infected. If you suspect an infection, consult a healthcare provider.

In most cases, water bubbles on the ankle will resolve on their own within a few weeks. If the blister is large or painful, or if it does not resolve after a few weeks, it may be necessary to consult a healthcare provider for further treatment.
