A member asked:
I have a small blood blister on the outer side of my big toe, how long does it take to heal and how can i prevent pain while running and walking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: On how much friction or pressure that is put on the blister. May use protective ointment and cover with dressing. Open toe shoes if possible will reduce friction and speed up healing.
