Huge patch of skin just fell off my foot

I bought some new shoes recently and have been wearing them in. It’s been quite painful and two days ago I took off the shoes and on my right foot there was like a big hard wrinkle of skin running all the way across the back of my foot. It was as if the skin had been peeled back.

I donned a big plaster again today and all felt fine. Had a late bath before bed and realised I’d forgotten to take the plaster off the back of my foot. Peeled it off whilst in the water and then felt something else peeling off underneath. I thought I must have left an old plaster on underneath the new one - not something I’ve done before but it seemed like the only explanation. Peeled it off and placed it on the side of the bath with the first plaster.

Turned the light up after my bath and realised the second “plaster” I’d put on the side of the bath was in fact a huge flap of skin, about 6cm wide by 5cm long!

Posting to ask if anyone else has had this and also, WTAF!

My son had this when he played rugby in Singapore. A huge thick blister about 1 inch x 2 inches and very thick. I actually kept it in a jar for a while I was so impressed.
Don't let it get infected. It will need a good dressing and to be kept very clean.
