Specializes in Podiatry

Make 3 holes: In the blister and drain the fluid to flatten it. The skin will provide a biological dressing. Apply some antibiotic ointment on top

I got a blister on the sole of my toe after I went for a long walk in bad shoes about a week ago. It still hasnt healed. I saw that friction blisters should take about a week to heal. If I continue to walk everyday does this make healing slower?
