Weird blister should I cut it open?

[AtSea1979]

DD (7) got a blister from new holiday shoes. She then went on the beach bare foot and has been bare foot all week as much a possible. Other times wearing a plaster.
The blister has somehow filled up with sand and stayed like that all week.
Should I try to open it at bottom? Surely that will make it open and sore? Go GP? Seems a bit minor to bother GP with.
Any advice?
Long play in bath hasn't helped either.

That looks like a wart

[SparklyStarShit]

Go to doctors. Could get infected. I wouldn't cut it open. however if it was my own I would

A wart? It's from rubbed shoes. It's weird how sand got in it bloody stuff goes everywhere but it's been a week now and not cleared out itself.

Magnesium sulphate is good for drawing stuff out of the skin like splinters and you can get from the chemist. Could you not book an appointment with a nurse at your surgery?

I would just open it and squash the sand out tbh, not saying that's the best thing to do though.

Only got back a couple of hours ago. Might see in chemist can help first then

I'd give that a good scrub with a rough flannel and then cover with a compede plaster once all the sand is out.

Been using compeed blister plasters for times when she's needed to wear shoes (not the new ones)

Will try rubbing in the bath though DD will probably fuss.

Hmm, I would just give it a firm rub in the bath as well. Just had to get ds to dig out a small stone from his foot which had clearly become embedded when bodyboarding.

[AtSea1979]

The skin is totally healed over it. There was just a small hole at top but even that healed so not sure if it'll rub open now.

If that was my body part id poltice it (magnesium sulphate) to try draw anything out and then if nothing came out id cut it open.

[AtSea1979]

I used some small pointy scissors and snipped the hard skin open, the sand was quite hard and dried up so hasn't all come off yet but hopeful another bath tomorrow will solve that

[HornyTortoise]

If I had this myself I would cut it no problem. On my child I would be more wary of infection and such so would probably book an appointment with the nurse (not GP..its not really a GP thing IMO)
