At the Vt. Country WOKO concert yesterday i really hurt my heel on one of the blow up play things. Today i went and forgot to step down one of my stairs and the blistered spot opened up. it still hurts. It did'nt bleed, but it stings. i have'nt done anything for it yet. I need to know what YOU would do. thanks very much guys,

I'm going to go swimming to, so should i put a band-aid on it while doing that?

Hi Alyssa - ouch! Wipe it with hydrogen peroxide (isopropyl alcohol would really hurt), put a little Neosporin (generic is fine), and cover it with a large band-aid during the day; at night, let it air. It will be gone in no time.

I would put a band-aid with some antibacterial ointment on it during the day, and let it breathe at night, until the skin is no longer open.

Clean it well, put an antibiotic cream on it and then a bandage. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes that won't rub it for the next couple of days.

Think you should not cover it anyway, instead "Gentian violet or potassium permenganate solution" should be applied over it till it dry and be cured

put a little peroxide or alchohol on it, then put some antibiotic oitment with a bandaid...that will kill any microbes that got into it and prevent infection...

I would sue someone...and yes, you should put a WATER-PROOF bandaid on it.
