This blister is MAD

I have not had a blister in years. But got one yesterday, probably from those damn low socks going too low on back of my foot. Just a layer or two of skin came off so I put on a bandaid. Then today, it is beet red ughh. And so sore. Anyway just wanted to share my Blister Blog.
I'll spare you the visual.

Trust me. Shake a bottle of calamine lotion very well then apply it liberally to your blister and cover with the Band-Aid. It will draw out all the infection that's trying to get in there and heal it very well. Keep repeating this. I would put that on first thing in the morning and before you go to bed. Don't miss the appointed time. It will dry it up and suck out that infection.

I imaging the treatment would be similar to treating bed sores. There are bed sore kits that include an anti bacteria cream and cushioned patches of various sizes with adhesives on all sides designed to prevent rubbing. The padding is spongy and smooth. The anti bacteria cream is zinc based and is pretty effective in preventing further complications.

I can't wear low cut socks or very low cut sneakers. My heals are super sensitive to any rubbing in that area. Go without whenever you can to help it heal.

@Gibbon Thank you. 🌸

@Coralmist Hope it helps. Gauze pads under longer socks can help remove the irritating pressure also

@Gibbon Thanks. I initially didn't really clean it as it looked like not much skin was removed but now I see it so red I've been cleaning it with alcohol and the bandaids do help minimize pain. Ty Gibbon
