Fuck I've taken the skin off my foot

[idiotical]

Ouch how do I deal with this?

Ouch! How did you do that?!
Is the ‘raw’ area wet at all? Or still quite dry? I’d carefully trim away the old skin and just leave it exposed for the day today and see how it goes. You could hobble to a pharmacy for dressing advice tomorrow?
However if it starts weeping maybe go today?

Oh that looks painful! How did you do it? If trim the flappy bit off and give the other bit a clean (that'll sting 🤢). Leave it to.air. but you might want to get it looked at. Poor you

Fuck that looks so sore!! As others have said I'd get rid of the skin, get a dressing on and get it looked at. How have you done it?

Jesus madam, that looks painful
Sorry, no help just ouch!!

Argh!

You can’t not tell us how you did it!

It’s not footner related is it?

Ouch!
Was it a blister? I would get the biggest hydrocolloid (blister) plaster possible and keep it covered for a few days.

I think you need to see a pharmacist, at least, for advice on how to keep that clean while it heals. Obviously not walking around is not an option!

I think for now, don't remove the loose skin unless it's dirty inside, as it will protect the raw surface. At least until you get professional advice.

That looks painful and the following solution will help heal and keep infection at bay.

Add 2 drops tea tree oil + 5 drops lavender oil to 500ml of water. Wash heel with the solution at least 4 time a day for a few days. I usually put in a bowl and use plate as a lid to keep solution clean. Use a clean facecloth, or whatever, each time to wash with. Solution is good for 2 to 3 days. Just make up new batch if when needed.

Use this all the time for cuts etc and works very well. Can also add a little to a plaster/ dressing if using one. Hope your heel gets better soon.

P.s. if you have a dog, keep tea tree solution away from them ie up off floor in case they would drink it as tea tree is poisonous to dogs.

Good grief... I’d get some advice from a pharmacist

Yup, advice from a pharmacist definitely! Ouch!

Big plaster and give it a couple of days to start healing. Clean with disinfectant or surgical spirit in warm water first. It will sting.

Watch out for dressings.

You need something that doesn't stick to the actual wound, or else you'll cause yourself even more damage.

Hobble to a pharmacy, or get someone to buy non-stick dressings for you.

Honey dressings. Check with pharamist but they healed my DH bike burn - where he took a big patch of skin off his leg- like something out of a sci-fi movie - it was a miracle. Lloyds sell them for ~£2 a pop behind the counter. Has to be seen to be believed!

This happens to me a lot. Try not to pick the skin off; use a gauze dressing held in place with micropore. It'll harden up in a few days; and heal in maybe a week or so. ; it hurts!

I’d trim and dress with a decent amount of padding. I had similar but on the ball after a massive eczema attack before summer. Get some iodine infused dressings at the pharmacy which will dry it out to heal quicker.

How the fuck did you do that

Dressings - I'd recommend either Melolin (or equivalent own brand) non adherent dressing (gauze with a perforated plastic lining) with Micropore tape, or possibly a hydrocolloid dressing pad if you can find one big enough (these are like a second skin and will protect the raw area till it heals.

Don't take my word for it though. Pharmacist or practice nurse appointment, or minor injuries unit if you have one, to check for infection and apply the dressing correctly, might be wise.

Go and see pharmacist.

Years ago, I had horrific blisters to the point where they couldn’t heal on both feet ( blisters on top of blisters on top of blisters). Wandered into pharmacy who sent me straight to doctors. Ended up with doctor taking all the skin off, daily dressings. ( Not UK)

Apparently I had the skin of a baby on my feet.

Clean it with a sterile wipe and then I'd get a large hydrocolloidal dressing - they keep a raw wound "wet" so help it to heal much faster. They are amazing things and help to minimise scar reduction too. Boots have good range.

I would slap it on, tape it firmly with some micropore or other surgical/sterile tape so it doesn't peel off.

If you need a bath/shower, stick your foot in a large freezer bag and tape it round the ankle so the dressing doesn't come off.

Then try to stay off it as much as you can.

How did you do it?

off to pharmacy.
you need a large hydrocolloid (sp?) wound dressing (the larger ones are often behind the counter), disinfectant and a gel insole or other cushioning for your shoe.

Sorry forgot about this post. It was a combination of new boots, fishnet style tights and lots of dancing that caused a huge blister.

Large blister plaster or hydrocolloid dressing.
