blood blister

so i got a blood blister on my right heel. fucking hurts. gonna slice it open later today once i get some moleskin.

i also have a small blister on my left heel but thats not as bad as the blood blister on my right heel.

 

be tough, cut that sucker open and dump some vodka on it, top it off with a little salt (be sure to rub it in well) and your a man ( a very stupid man if ya do what was just written but a man)

 

haha, fuck that - maybe if i was still drunk i'd do something like that, but not now.

just gonna put a small slice in it, drain it, put some neosporin on, moleskin, then tape it up

 

any idea how you got it?

 

oh yea, i know....the socks i were wearing with my leather shoes didn't have any heal support, and my heal was rubbing up on the shoe the whole night out. was dancing a lot, and then at the end of the night, had to walk about a mile back to my car (deliberately parked it on the other side of downtown so i could do a walk to sober up)

so yea, crappy socks, leather shoes, lots of dancing and walking = blisters

 

Fitzy....what is a blood blister?

A blister filled with blood? (I'm being serious)

 

yea, pretty much. its a blister, but i also damaged some blood vessels and now instead of the clear liquid in the pocket, its filled with some blood along with the other fluids normally in a blister. i didn't puncture the skin, which is why the blood is trapped under the skin.

whatever, i had lots of fun dancing so it was worth ti

 

The one on your heal is probably a simple blister thats got a bit of blood in the fluid.

Real blood blister usually happy when you get yourself pinched or scuffed right under the skin, you know it instantly cause it fills with pure blood and it throbs.

Most people let any type of blister go a few days so a membrane (scab) can build on top of that skin layer so when you do bust it open its already partially healed and does not hurt, air on open skin is what hurts when you pop a fresh blister.

I like to let the blood blister heal all the way then you just pull off a small dried looking peice of dead skin when its done.

Good luck and dont cry to0o much....blisters are your friend.

 

cut your foot off...

 

...with a dull, rusty saw.

 

Leave it alone, skin heals from underneath. Slicing them open will only reveal raw skin that wasn't ready to be exposed to air. Which will make them hurt more.
Or, if you're a masochist, listen to stinkfoot.

 

lakshen and stinkfoot have a point. It's never good to live with a blood blister. Off with the foot!

LOL.

 

not gonna cut my foot off.

but it definately is a blood blister. normally, i just get a regular blister there, but this thing is full of blood.

 

i finally got me my moleskin. so now i'm soaking my foot in a epsom salt balt

 

I think you can probably poke the thing with a sterile needle or straight pin. I'd just soak the pin in alcohol or peroxide to be sure it's clean.
Then, just poke it. Press the blood out slowly, then disinfect with whatever you choose to use. Cutting it with a razor or something might open it up too much and cause more pain.

 

I posted that last one same time as fitzy. Slow AOL connection.LOL.

 

haha...

i got my whole setup all ready to go. i sterilized my pin already, got my neosporin and moleskin all ready to go.

 

well that was the plan, but i can't find my pocket knife so i'll just use a pin to poke it a few times

 

no, i use 99% isopropyl alcohol to sterilize the intstrument that i use, in this case a pin.

 

the alcohol works better in sterilization. and i don't just poke the blister, i slide it through the skin on the side of the blister. i don't go anywhere near the center of the blister.
