What's the best way to treat a burst blister/skin scraped off heel?

[Cocolapew]

My shoes rubbed me on Saturday and its not healing. Its about the size of 50p piece. I've been wearing blister plasters at work but trying to dry it when I'm at home.
When it dries it cracks and weeps as soon as I walk on it again, so I can decide if letting it scab over is a good idea.
I've just put cream and a light bandage on it because hairs and fluff are now sticking to it . Its absolutely throbbing

I'm not sure what the best thing would be for you to do, but I do know that when I tried blister plasters they made the blister much worse. I ended up resorting to the 'traditional' method of a folded-up tissue held on with a plaster.

Salt water should help dry and heal it when you are indoors.

The blister plasters were great in that they kept it moist enough for me to walk but I keep thinking I should let it dry I can't believe its so bad, the skin that was pushed off it hardened but I clipped it off because it was hurting as well. I feeling v sorry for myself

Compeed blister plasters. Just leave them on. Stick a layer of elastoplast over the top so they stay in place. They’ll heal up under that.

DH suggested salt water but I was too scared to do it

Leave the blister plaster on. Moist healing is good

Ok I'll keep it moist, thank you!

Put a blister plaster (or a larger Hydrocolloid dressing) carefully on the area and LEAVE it in place until it drops off, up to 7 days is OK. Let the blistered area heal up without constantly interfering with it. That’s how Hydrocolloid works.

I came here to say I find air is the best to let it dry out and heal but that's the opposite of another poster's advice! Good luck with whatever you do, because I know how bloody agonising it can be!!!

The only thing that works for me is a couple of thick layers of spray-on liquid plaster (it burns like hellfire when you spray it on!) and a plaster over the top. Stops it rubbing so I can walk.

Thanks for the replies, blister plaster is on with light bandage to stop it coming off.

Compeed.

Yy, as pps have said, wounds need a moist environment for new skin to grow, not to be dried out! Keep it under a hydrocolloid and it'll get there.
Plants and skin cells both need moisture to grow 🪴

I always thought you had to let wounds dry up.
You learn something new everyday 🙂

The beauty of blister plasters is that stick 'em on and they stay on until it's healed enough that you don't need a plaster.

I wish I had realised that instead of taking them off at home.
Maybe I should have read the instructions 🤔

I once bought a pair of jodhpurs in a sale that had a seam down the leg, and over the course of a ride they basically gave me a pressure sore. It was so painful! DM (nurse) put a hydrocolloid dressing over it which was transparent- it looked awful under there, all gooey and minging. But it healed up really well. (The evil jodhpurs went in the bin!)

I’ve been there it’s bloody painful. Best to
Let it heal under a plaster and also stops stuff sticking to it. I thought it was best to let things dry out until I got a blister on my tummy from a chemical burn. The doctor told me to keep it covered.
