Blister popped, skin is gone, what kind of care does it need?!
Question: Blister popped, skin is gone, what kind of care does it need!?
I was pretty unlucky the other day and went walking around with my friend and ended up getting 2 big blisters on both of my feet!. 1 popped on its own, 2 i popped because well, they were on my heel and it hurt pretty bad and the other just tore open!. Now the skin is all gone from it (i trimmed it up a bit, it was hanging) and it hurts like hell to walk!. What kind of care should I give it!? I'm worried neosporin would hurt pretty bad!. Any suggestions!?
Here's a pic of it!.

Answers:
You made 2 huge mistakes: first, you broke the blisters!. That is bad! Yes they hurt, but they hurt worse broken, plus are open to infection!. And the second mistake was then removing the skin!. If a blister breaks on its own (since you should never break them) KEEP THE SKIN ON!!! It's easier to heal that way, for one, and it's at least a bit more protected from infection, AND it won't hurt as much!.
But since what's done is done, treatment:
Neosporin!. It shouldn't hurt to apply it if you're gentle, it won't sting or burn or anything, and it has an analgesic built in, which will numb everything!.
Then go to the drugstore and get some blister pads to put around them!. That will cushion them and prevent your weight from resting on them while you walk!.

i would put some of those bandages that are soft with the gel in them on you blisters and if the pain is unbearable, take some ibuprophen ( also called advil, tylenol)Www@Answer-Health@Com
