How long does it take for a blister to heal?!
Question: How long does it take for a blister to heal?
I ran in a half marathon sunday and developed two blisters; one on my big toe the other on the side of my foot. They are both about an inch long. It's now Thursday and I really want to pop them but I'm trying not to because everything I've read said not to. How much longer should I wait? Will they heal on their own without needing to be popped?

They will heal on their own if they are not irritated and do not become infected. It will take several days for them to heal, up to a couple of weeks. These two sites give advice on the care of blisters. The main thing to watch out for is infection - pus, red streaks. If that happens you should see a doctor.
