Blisters

What is the rule on these? I alwys get them in that part of the foot where your toes meet your actual foot. They hurt. Can you pop these? It just makes it hard to walk.

I pop them and let them air dry when I sleep. I get BAD ones on my heels. Not much anymore since it has calloused up and I have expensive work boots now.

When you pop them, and then you walk, it hurts like a fuck. Let them be and they will heal or put something on them. I get them all the time from basketball.

I prefer to pop them, then cut away the seperated skin. If you leave it, there is the possibility it will pop on its own and will tear off much more skin then has already seperated.

I was always told not to pop them as it increases your risk for infection

I just put a bandaid over mine, then they eventually pop and im fine. But then again I'm used to it, playing soccer so much. I have ones on both my big toes, heels, the ball of my feet, etc.

I only get them after rollerblading for a while or with new shoes. If they are small I let them heal on their own, but if they are big and painful, I take a clean safety pin and poke a hole in it on one side and push the fluid out. Only do this when you know you'll have time to lounge around barefoot and let it breath/heal. The Newskin thing is a good idea too.
