If you have to put closed toe shoes on again, put a bandaid on it and leave it alone. Continue to ignore it and leave it alone until it goes away.

the extra ideal question could be: How do I sidestep myself from getting blisters throughout a run? I used to have a substantial subject with blisters. After basically some miles, i might have 2- 3 blisters. I then got here upon the spectacular international of working socks. WrightSock makes some large anti-blister socks. My renowned pair is double layered. i've got no longer had a subject with blisters via fact that. After the San Diego Rock and Roll Marathon I had 0 blisters. I counted 13 on my boyfriend's feet, who used time-honored socks. you may get WrightSocks at rather lots any working shoe keep. i've got heard of a few human beings putting BodyGlide on their feet earlier putting their socks on. BodyGlide is additionally bought at any solid working keep. in case you nevertheless get blisters, drain them with a clean needle. Afterwards, you could positioned blister pads on it to permit it heal.

There's this stuff called moleskin that you can get at CVS, or Walgreens, or whatever you have around you. What you do is cut out a donut shape, and stick it to your foot with the blister in the middle. Cover it with a bandaid, and avoid your pointy toed boots until it goes away, if possible.

youre goal is to keep it from getting bigger, and more infected. To do this, first clean it with rubbing alcohol, then sterilize a needle over a flame until the tip glows red; allow it to cool, and the puncture a small hole at the edge of the blister. Drain the fluid by applying gentle pressure. Put a bit of antibiotic ointment on the blister and cover with a bandage. Wear loser shoes over the period of healing time and change the baindaid at least daily.

You could try a sure solution, from years ago.
You take a piece of white bread (no crust) dip it in milk,squeeze out some. and apply to your toe where the blister is. Wrap it up ,put a sock over it. Leave it on overnight, it will break the blister and next morning clean the toe and apply neosporin or bacitracin.

Discontinue wearing those boots for a while, maybe they aren't good for you at all. But for now take some oientment and a band-aid and stick it on the blister, change daily, and take it off at night, wear a regular band-aid (where it blistered) if you wear those shoes again.

Hello AJ, you can either pop it and put a bandage on it , or let the water that has built up in it to be absorbed back into your skin. Either way it will take about a week for it to heal. Good Luck Sunshine

Pop it with a sterilized needle. I usually just use a match to sterilize the tip of the needl and then pop the blister while the needle is still warm.
It always works for me, goes away quicker than if I don't

Put a band-aid on it and let it heal. Leave it alone, otherwise it will get infected and hurt much worse. Good luck!
