What can I do to help the blisters on my pinky toes heal faster?
Question:
My dad told me not to open it and let the liquid out or it will hurt worse... but it's getting so big that I think it's going to break just by me walking on it.
I bought those Band-Aid brand Blister Band-Aids... they are helping to keep them clean, but I want them to heal faster.
I have marching band practice on Monday and was hoping to get them feeling at least a bit better by then.
Thanks for any help.
Answers:
Your dad is right. It may hurt but it is better than getting an infection. I got blisters on my little toe until I started wearing a full size larger shoe than was I am measured for.
I have used a sterilized needle to puncture the blister and let the fluid run out. It makes it heal much faster but it is very hard to sterilize the needle and surrounding area. It also requires a snug band aide and antibiotics. I would usually just put a really tight band aide on for a few hours because it wasn't worth the risk of infection.
If u want them to heal faster, you have to break 'em.
Then, maybe some neosporine?
