I have this blister on my toe, should I pop or leave well alone? Sporners vote! Please excuse my horrible toes

You need to repost the picture...

Eurgh

Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop

I can actually feel it straining, won't it be agony if I pop??

Pop it!

Close up for your viewing pleasure!!

Oooooo. Pop it, go on

That is amazing pop pop pop

As much as I love a thread like this I would leave it alone!!

Pop pop pop pop pop

I'd pop it.

Haven't you got long toes?
Tempting, but blister plaster and let it shrink.

Pop with a very small pin and just squeeze (gently) to get the liquid out.

ohwhat my toes are like fingers 😂

It's so sore, won't it be worse if I pop????

Nick it with a sterile pin or similar, then soak up the seepage with tissue paper. Then leave to air. It will feel much better soon

Pop

Use a sterile pin and gently drain the fluid onto some tissue.

Like you had to ask!

Poppedy pop it

Pop it then bung some germolene or equivalent on it and some clean socks to stop any dirt or whatever getting into it. It will feel better when it's popped.

Thanks sporners, I popped it earlier and it has refilled 🤔
May need to repop tomorrow!

It will help though, the fact you've popped it once.

I'd thread a needle with some cotton and 'sew it through' the blister. The skin on top will die anyway, and it would keep draining. (Prepared to be shot down in flames, though!)

Oh I had one like that once - had to drain it 3 or 4 times before it finally turned into a delicious piece of hard skin for me to pick off

You can't just pop a big delicious blister like that-you need to make a tunnel under the good skin at the side, and as you're slowly withdrawing the needle, push against the side of the blister and all the juice will seep out the tunnel as the needle is pulled out. The tunnel of skin will seal over, and the blister heals itself. No exposed skin, no refilling, and no pain.

That's nothing check this out

This was a wee while ago now
