Don't scratch or pop them. Apply hydrocortisone cream to reduce itching and swelling, and take a painkiller if they hurt. Most of these bites will go away on their own within 1-2 weeks. If they do not, see your doctor to figure out the most effective remedy for your blistered bites.

Wash the area with soap and water or with alcohol. Then apply ice or cold compress for few minutes to relieve the pain. Apply antihistamines or 1% hydrocortisone.

If the blisters on the skin has liquid that is greenish in color, use a steralized sharp object to poke over the blisters. Squeeze the liquid out totally and then use an alcohol swap to wipe off the liquid. This will prevent the blisters from getting bigger and more painful.
