Odd Looking Blister

Post by Oreo »

A few days ago I was out playing basketball, after awhile I felt a little pain on the balls of my left foot, just underneath my big toe,towards the instep.When I came home and took my socks off, and I see this blister thats about the size and thickness of a dime, and its black. Its pretty painful to put any pressure on it. Should I treat this like a normal blister, or should I get it checked out? Thanks In Advance.

were you wearing black socks? if so, I'd bet that it was the dye that rubbed off on you....either way suck it up and if your toe falls off then you'll know it was bad....

Hit your foot with a Sledge hammer, so the rest of it looks like the blister, then you won't have anything to worry about. It will all look the same. Better yet douse that sucker in gasoline and let her rip. In the process of coderizing the blister it will take care of all you ded skin down there as well.

All that's missing is draining the blister with a syringe and then filling it with Tincture of Benzoin.....you'll learn to take care of your feet and never have another blister.

Ah the joys of punitive medicine!
