What do you do about a blister on the foot?

It seems like a blister - I started getting pain in my foot yesterday, and upon removing my shoes, it looks like it's being caused by a blister on the top surface of one of my toes. It's painful only to the touch, and sometimes itches. It looks and feels almost like a mosquito bite, except I haven't been outside barefoot, and it's painful to walk if I'm wearing shoes because it presses against the inside of my shoe. What should I do? Are there any special ointments, etc.? Fortunately it being the weekend I can rest the foot a little. I probably made it worse with all the walking I did yesterday.

If it has liquid in it, pop (well not *pop*) but poke the side of it with a needle and drain it. Make sure you keep it clean with a new band aid everyday and wear clean socks. if you're not sure it's a blister, it might be a plantar's wart. They're inverted (flat), often painful warts that occur on the sole or toes of the foot. Your best bet to get rid of one of these is to see a dermatologist, over the counter treatments don't work. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantar_war...
Reply:pop it with a pin, remove the puss. Then put a big bandaid on top to mitigate rubbing pain
Reply:Don't use regular band aids! There is a product called moleskin (not made of moleskin). It is specifically for blisters. I am an avid hiker and this stuff is a lifesaver. You can find it by the foot care stuff like shoe insoles and Dr school's stuff. Hope you feel better!

Reply:Just soak your feet in warm water, don't pop it or touch it. If it breaks open make sure you put a bandaid with some neosporin on it to prevent infection. And keep the bandaid on if it pops open to prevent dirt or anything getting into it.
Reply:if its fluid filled- sterilize a pin and make a puncture


drain the fluid gently - but DO NOT DE-ROOF THE LESION


IE LEAVE THE TOP LAYER OF SKIN INTACT - THAT IS NATURE'S BANDAGE


then apply warm moist heat and cover with an antibiotic ointment


use ointments until healed


if it does not improve within 4-7 days see a podiatrist to make sure it isnt something else
