What to do about big blister

[Rivermonsters]

I’ve just come back from a two day holiday in. London. I’ve walked (9am-10pm yesterday) and (9-4pm) today so quite a while . However I have this big blister on my foot and idk how to get rid of it, any advice. Also soz if feet gross you out

It’s hot af and I’m limping around. I’m crap at photography so hopefully you can see what I’m on about

You just have to get some plaster & wait for it to heal, I'm afraid. Wear different shoes while it heals.

I'd just prick it with a singed needle and leave it do dry out.

And YABVU for having a signed photo of Tony Blair.

As it hasn't burst you could use blister plasters.

@FatFredsFriedEgg it was a Christmas present , I thought pricking it could lead to infection?

POP IT!

Google blister threading.

It will be sore if you pop it use a blister plaster and different shoes

We used to drain them slowly by threading a piece of cotton through it and leaving the thread in so it drained

Blister plasters, they are brilliant but only if your blister hasn't popped.

Why is no one mentioning the framed Tony Blair pic?

I normally singe the needle over a gas ring. I've never had a blister go septic on me, and I've had loads of blisters.

I'm not really encouraging you to do what I do though, it's just what I do and I've never had a problem with it.

@applepineapple you should see my bedroom..

Thanks everyone for their advice!

No wonder you considered pricking it with that photo nearby!!

Dont pop it, the liquid is helping to heal your skin, pop it and the skin will be raw and sore. Wear different shoes and let it heal

Ilikewinter you would be no good on sporner corner!

@Easterbunnyiswindowshopping haha my mums obsessed with that page, bet they’d enjoy my blister

No i wouldnt!!!! Xx 🙈🤣🤣

Compeed blister plasters are miracle-workers, seriously.

No ideas but you have my sympathy. I got blisters doing exact same London trip. Only mine had burst and a bloody mess.

I Should get shares in Elastoplast right I'm getting through plasters

I'd certainly pop it with the singed needle, thats what Ive done in the past,, it feels a lot better once its popped

OP you need to collect snacks, takeaway/ food delivery menus and place them in a pile at either the side of your bed or sofa. You then need to lie down on either the sofa or bed whilst placing your foot on an elevated velvet cushion. You then need to rest the back of your non dominant hand on your forehead whilst operating the tv remote with your other hand. Do not move until it’s gone down but preferably until it has disappeared completely.

I always pop my blisters with a fairly clean sterilised needle.

I once had a massive blister on the bottom of both of my heels at the same time.

I stupidly pricked them with a porcupine quill, got all the liquid out and was then bothered by the sagging skin….so cut all that off too

I was very lucky not to have any infection or side affects apart from my heels being a bit tender and sensitive where the new skin was showing
