How to get rid of blood blister naturally?

Well, the story goes like this - I accidentally pinched my finger the other day and caused a blood blister. After a week or so the little red dot on my finger just got me annoyed and much to my ignorance I thought draining the blood from it will help it cure, and I was so wrong! The blood just wouldn't stop coming out from the blister after I pinched it with a needle! It looks like the body just doesn't know there is a wound there and the blood wouldn't clot but just keep on flowing out (scary!), even though the blister has a size of a sesame. After a few days applying pressure with band-aid, the blister seems to dry out a little, however whenever I take the band-aid off and if I am not careful and bump the blister at something, the bleeding will start all over again...so band-aid straight away again and hope it will heal itself in a week or so like some article says on the internet.

It only occurred to me later that why don't I see if there are some other ways to help the body heal the blood blister and to my delight one of the option is to use witch hazel, which I do have a bottle at home! After taking off the band-aid and quickly apply some witch hazel on the blister before any blood tried to escape from that little hole, the witch hazel dries out the surface like magic at first time use. If you have a blood blister like me, try using some witch hazel solutions! Simply dab some solution on a cotton ball, apply on the blister and let it dry, repeat 3-4 times a day. There is always a chance for allergic reaction, although rare, so it is wise to do a quick skin test if you have not used witch hazel before.

Something about witch hazel (hamamelis virginiana) - It is an amazing skin toner with astringent, purifying and toning properties. It is good for bumps, bruising, aches, scrapes, swelling and much more. Dr Axe has a great article about witch hazel if you would like to read further - https://draxe.com/witch-hazel/ 

Hope it helps!
