I have a blister/abrasion thing on the back of my ankle (Achilles tendon area) caused from a pair of new basketball shoes that I didn't wear the proper height socks with. I now wear the high socks but I have a game tomorrow and well the blister-thing is still there. Any tips on drying it out so it doesn't hurt as bad?

place an aloe vera leaf on the spot and cover it with a bandaid tonight, put fresh leaf on tomorrow, let air out tomorrow night.
If u do not have aloe, try neosporin for pain cream in stores.
aloe vera will heal it fast.

Pop the blister if it hasn't broken on it's own already, use a large cloth band aid (not plastic) and you should be good for the game. Only time will really heal the wound and that's not going to happen in 24 hours.

put some aloe vera on it and then put on a bandaid...it will heal the blister and the bandaid will help not let it get irritated by your shoe
