Hi Nate -

Oozing is pretty natural. So is the blisters becoming crusted and scaly. To help dry the oozing blisters you could use baking soda and water, calamine lotion, or Aveeno baths. There are a number of other treatments you could try as well to help promote drying. Check the treatments section for more suggestions. I think that the decision to wipe it away rests with you. If you do want to clean it up, make sure that you do it gently so as to not cause any more damage to the skin or cause any sort of infection to occur. Use a clean cloth and cool water.
