Infected or not?

[hiimjackie]

Is this infected or not? It feels very hot but I'll love to pop it

[Wolfiefan]

Eek! Is that a burn? How big is it?

[Sexnotgender]

What is it from?

[hiimjackie]

It's just from my shoes! Haven't been able to get any new ones for a while!

Doesn’t look infected to me.

Don’t pop it. The bubble is there for a reason - to protect your foot while the wound heals itself. Once popped it will also be much more painful.

[Ninkanink]

And it’s not infected I don’t think - if you pop it you will just get loads of clear liquid.

Thanks, what do you think the redness is from then? Maybe more rubbing? It's gone from clear to that

[VettiyaIruken]

Huge blister?
Don't pop it. It is protecting your skin

[Sexnotgender]

Just looks red from the irritation I suspect. I’d leave it well alone.

If it was infected it would be yellow/green. The red is just your flesh/blood. Dont pop it but stop wearing the shoes! Try to keep it in the fresh air.

Grr you lot are no fun

But thanks I'll put some sudocream and a plaster on it

[Berthatydfil]

I think if it was infected it would have a redder margin around it . If you pop it you run the risk of introducing infection.
It may have bled a little under the skin or be a bit bruised.
Can you get a large blister plaster and cover it leave it for a few days.

[hiimjackie]

All covered now

I had one like that on my heel this week. I popped it .....there was lots of clear pale pinky liquid. I've put a blister plaster over it (the hydrocolloid type) - which you just leave until it starts to peel off. Allows the blister to heal.
