Re: Should l Burst My Blister?
Thank you for asking Omah but l think you might wish you hadn't!It seemed to be getting better but in the early hours my toe was really hurting, so I peeped under the dressing and the blister was bigger and redder. I took the dressing off and bathed my foot and wrapped tissue around it.
I decided to take my one daily antibiotic then with a whole glass of water and went back to bed and fell asleep. About an or so later (5am) l woke and my tummy hurt so l thought it was because l was hungry so l made some cornflakes with milk. I had two spoonfuls and l felt nauseous! I ran to the toilet and l was sick. A few minutes later, l was sick again, this time with bright red blood in it!
I did feel a bit better and fell asleep until 8am. I looked at my toe and some of the fluid has come out but it is still very sore.
I rang the doctors and got an appointment this morning. I thought it best just to have it checked. Well, you did ask and that's the saga!
Here's a pic, taken in the early hours!

Re: Should l Burst My Blister?
Thanks to you all for caring! I now feel a lot better!I went to the doctors this morning and he was wondering if he should pierce the blister but decided against it!
He sent me to the nurse to have a new dressing put on it. She didn't hesitate about bursting it and prodded the blister with a needle in a few places! She put the fresh dressing on and l have to go back on Friday!
When l got back, l had to go back to bed as l felt so rotten with lack of sleep and the discomfort.
Honestly, it's truly unbelievable, how easily a pesky little insect can cause such pain, discomfort and disruption to your life!
I hope the saga finishes here as you must all be bored witless about my big toe!!
