On Thursday canught on the heel by a heavy trolley and it cause immediate pain (like a stubbed toe type pain) and later realised it was bleeding a with deep gash in my heel. Got patched up. It needed steri strips and a dressing.

Today I have humongous bruise forming and now the injury is really itchy and sore! What can I do to make it more comfortable. It’s quite warms so I’m worried it’s infected? Any ideas? Looks fine not manky just red. I’ve had it open at home and dressing on when I used as it rubs.

I found bio oil around the edge was the only thing that took the edge of the itching. In a similar injury. Wear comfy. Wide shoes. (I got a blister and then discovered I'm.very allergic to blister plasters)

Hope you heal soon
