Well as most of you know, I want to go into medicine as a career(Emergency Medicine or Pediatrics).The point of this thread is to help me along with my studies. So if there is anything wrong with you, post a description of your problems and I might be able to help you. And after all, you'd be helping me along. And remember, I am not a physician so don't take what I have to say too seriously.



:)


and hopefully, this thread wont die

No, blisters are caused wehn skin rubs against another surface, which causes friction.

In fact blisters can be treated by yourself and you only need to call a doctor if the blister gets infected, recur frequently, occur in unusal places or are very severe. Signs of infection are: pus(draining from blister), red or warm skin around the blister and red marks leading away from the blister.

Since you have a large blister,you need to do the following:

1. Clean the blister with antibiotic soap and water or rubbing alchohol
2. Find a saftey pin or a straight pin: Heat the pin over a flame until it glows red. Allow it to cool, then punctue the blister at the side.
3. Apply gentle pressure and drain the blister.
4. Apply some antibacteriall oinment and then apply a bandage.(change the bandage daily-or more frequently when the bandage comes wet, soiled or loose.

Now, some blisters may tear. And in that case, you'd want to take the blisters roof off(skin) with some fine scissors. After that is done, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water. Then apply antibacterial oinment and bandages.
