Does this need medical attention? (Yucky photo included)

[BlindGuyMcSqueezy]

My DH dropped a tin on his foot at work, he could see a blood blister forming and it was very sore.
He’s just come home and taken his shoe off and it looks like this 🤢

He doesn’t know if he should soak it, dress it, pop it or go to a pharmacist.

Does anyone know what the best thing would be to do?

Yes, exactly. It started a lot smaller. I thought I'd pop it, but it got infected and just kept growing. Ended up on antibiotics and crutches!

Don't forget the wee donkey 😊

This was from a couple of years ago. All ok now although the skin is very fragile.

@Ihateboris bloody hell! What am I seeing ? 😳😬😳

Ooooooph that doesn't look good. Definitely minor injuries.

No faffing about with DIY treatments involving drills unless he wants sepsis.

Off you go!

This is it just before I popped it. It grew within 48 hours.

Is he back yet @BlindGuyMcSqueezy , what have they done with it ?

I blister with a foot attached

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wow! That must have been painful 😳

Oh ya beastie, I bet thats braw and sair 😬

Oaftttt jings, bet that was a nippy one 😬

Hi Op..hope your DH is OK and apologies for hijacking your thread ☺️

For some reason the photo OP attached was NOT blurred and actually shown in my wall whilst scrolling.
I have a life-long fear of blood and just threw my evening dinner in the bin and had to sit down

god holy damn, yes @BlindGuyMcSqueezy

hope you feel better soon , and what was the dinner ?

Of all the batshit medical advice I’ve seen on here, ‘use a drill bit’ is the new winner.

usually id do that in a bath

that is omg thinking

Thank goodness he’s gone to minor injuries. The advice to DIY it is scary!

Do let us know how he gets on, with photos.

Unless it showing signs of infection dress it and leave it
it’s going to pop and the nails will come off at some point
I wouldn’t waste a+e time

Definitely A&E and or minor injuries. Anyone who’s joking about infection it’s no joke if it does get infected. Heard of septicaemia and sepsis? One of my mum’s friends daughters died of a poisoned finger in the days before antibiotics.

Would you really want to risk that? Plus unless you have dressings in the house you’d have to go to a chemist and they may well tell you to go to A&E minor injuries.

Exactly. When I went to a and e with a blister, i was told I should have gone much sooner.

Jeepers that looks painful
Wouldn't be dicking about with drill bits though🤯

Don’t do this.
