Had a staph infection in my foot from an infected blister.antibiotics healed it completely but is there anything i need to watch for/worry about?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not really: Just watch for a recurrence from shoes rubbing on it. If it starts to get red again and forms another blister, see your doctor.

No: Unless you are a diabetic or have neuropathy there is nothing else to worry about in regards to this specific problem.
