How do you get rid of blisters caused by shoes rubbing against your bare foot? I rarely get them, but there's one right now that I got just yesterday, and just having it annoys the shit out of me.
Sterilise a pin either by using alcohol gel, or by holding it in a flame until it is red hot, then letting it cool again. Then simply pop the blister with it and squeeze out the fluid. Works like a charm.
Yes, squeze it somehow so you do break it. Then, use neosporin or some type of antiseptic ointment and put a bandaid over it so the skin can heal up under the bandage. That way, your shoe won't rub against raw skin.
Even after the blister heals, you should wear a bandaid on that spot every time you wear those particular shoes until the shoes are completely worn in and not likely to rub.
the most important thing to remember about a blister is never to pop it and remove the skin until it is healed under neath. the skin is a natural bandage that protects the rubbed spot. if it is popped keep it covered until it is healed completely. Otherwise you have a great big doorway for germs to enter. Since our feet don't have that great circulation and since they work so hard to haul us around it is important to baby them a bit. i would go so far as to say don't pop it unless it is truly driving you nuts. the fluid keeps infection out.
