It's not cheap but it's heavily discounted at Amazon .....
Omah, l sometimes feel embarrassed to contact a doctor, especially, as a blister seems so trivial. Mups said, l should contact them, so l felt more reassured!
I will have a look at the incognito spray!

Why would you consider this?

Let me ask you . . .

Are you conscious of making that blister?
Did you actively make it happen, did you choose to create that blister?

The answers are of course NO.

So, then, understand that YOU are not your body. On that basis I suggest you just let your body do what it needs to do and don't put obstacles in its way.

The notion that we must "do something" or reach for potions and pills or flock to GPs is imo just brainwashed conditioning.

Do we do that when we cut ourselves chopping vegetables?
Nope. We just keep the wound clean, hold some tissue on it until the bleeding stops, or apply a plaster, and then just let the body get on with what it knows how to do.

A great deal of life is spent hurting the body or putting obstacles in its way and that is why we get sick and ill. The fraudulent corporates trot out all manner of media advertising and nonsense documentaries to convince us to continue putting reliance on them and their snake oil products instead of us just rejoicing in the amazing self reliance that our bodies actually have and afford us.

People are duped, socially conditioned and brainwashed, just worker bees kept in the bee hive that is the commercial world , there to toil endlessly, be kept sick to spend money on useless products ad infinitum.

To wake up from that is to set yourself free.

Seeing is Believing

Seeing is . . . Bee . . . Leaving !

Leave the hive imo.

Re: Should l Burst My Blister?

Blisters should be left alone, if they burst then do not remove the dead skin, it will only expose the area to infection.

Re: Should l Burst My Blister?

Why do blisters itch so much?? I have a couple on my right foot-think I might pierce them later on and then spray with that antiseptic spray that leaves a layer.

Re: Should l Burst My Blister?

Them blood blisters under the fingernail can be painful, my mate did his ( hammerash ) so he cwas in such pain tha he asked me to use my hand drill and a fine steel bit to dill through the nail to release the blood.........it worked.

I have done the same to myself sing a heated needle to pierce the nail.
