really bad blister on foot with red streaks?!


Question: Really bad blister on foot with red streaks?
I was stupid yesterday and took a walk in flip flops and when I got home I had a blood blister on my foot, so I drained it, and cleaned it up. Today I had to do some walking around so it filled with fluid again (not blood) and I drained it again, then about 5 minutes later it was filled again (gross, I know), and now I have red streaks going away from it, the pus was clear, so I'm not sure if that means it is infected or not. I don't have health insurance at the moment so I really don't want to go to the doctor for this, but it is SO painful, it hurts more than when I broke my ankle

Answers:

Ok you need to go to hospital NOW when you have red lines going away from an injury this is a common sign of blood posioning and can hace a fatal out come I'm not joking who cares about health insurance when your life is at risk. My brothers friend picked a varucca and she then had red streaks going away from it they gradually moved up her leg and she became very Ill. This is serious because the red lines will continue until they reach your heart please seek medical help IMMIDETALY!!

Experience



this one is definitely infected. see your doctor you may need a series of antibiotics. if you dont want to lose a toe in the mix, see your physician and make certain its taken care of properly. there are some things that can be taken care of at home but others cant.
