A member asked:
I had a blister on my foot for a while now. it was drained and the skin covering it peeled off. now there is no skin on it and its purple. is that ok?

Healing: During the healing phase the skin can have a discolored appearance. Once a blister has drained and de-roofed it typically is a matter of days before complete healing occurs. If you are concerned at all you should be seen in person or virtually for proper diagnosis and correct treatment.
