what is a easy way to make them stop hurting after you been barefooting? I know if you peel the skin it heels fater but it burns. I have never been able to find a good way to make them stop hurting.
I'm sure this isn't sound medical advice but,... I usually use a needle to drain them. They're tender for a day or so and sometimes require a second poke. After that, they toughen up and eventually dry out. The bottom of my foot has a big patch of dry skin for awhile, but it's tough and comfortable. I hate blisters!!
I actually find I get blisters wearing flip flops too much. I don't know that I get blisters when I'm barefoot. All the more reason to avoid shoes! Anyhow, I told you how I deal with them. Hope it helps!
hey weeattoes you know what ? in that pic of your signature you look like... a Saint in a picture ! however you only get blisters from barefooting if you are not accustomed or march on something really really too hot for human skin.
Well i think i was just being a baby cause they don't hurt anymore. Thanks though. Well i was walked about a mile and a half barefoot on the road and i am always barefoot but i hardly actuallly get out and walk like that. What do you mean a saint?
Did I mention I hate blisters??? I have one on the bottom of each of my feet that I drained as described above. I got them about 2-3 weeks ago. After draining them they were tender for maybe a day and then the skin got dry and tough - very comfortable to walk on. The bummer is that it's taken since then for the natural exfoliation to take care of the dry skin and make my soles uniform again. Ugghhh! I hate blisters!!
maybe i'm wrong but i prefer ignoring blisters if i get some, typically from shoes. if you drain them you break the skin and need a bandage. even with a needle, the skin will go dry and fall, leaving the pink tissue without the cover of skin. more, they start hurting a lot when drained, so i prefer to leave them alone and wait for them to be reabsorbed , which to me occurs in ten days or so. good reasons for draining them ?
To each his/her own. Personally I find that if I leave the blisters alone I end up walking on my heels for a few days because they're puffy and hurt. If I drain them (just puncture them with a needle, not removing the skin), they quickly dry and the skin forms a tough layer. I doubt an MD would recommend or endorse doing this, but I find it works for me.
Weelll i left them alone and then the side of my blister tore and there was no fluid but the skin is really reaally soft and now my foot is kinda tender right there.
well well... the point is, i NEVER get blisters on my soles, i mean on the bottom of my feet. the skin is way too hard, thick and leather like, or i'd better say horn like to develop blisters. my curse are cracks, when the skin too thick on the heels cracks open and i have to sew that up, lol and some occasional blisters on the side of the foot coming from boots when i've got to wear'em.
I've never had a blister from going barefoot, but I get them on my hands working the fields sometimes, and yes I did get them on my heels sometimes when I still wore shoes. When they are very full and the pressure is painful, I pop them with a thin needle, just enough to let the liquid out, or what often happens on my hands, I keep working and they'll burst. Sorta hurts but it passes quickly. I've never sterilized the needle or the open blister, and I've never had anything get infected.
I just left it alone then it opened its self like it tore. And so i peeled it and now the skin is growing back. It doesnt hurt or anything.
