    Default Ouch! Blisters.

    I have a very painful blister on the bottom of my foot.

    Do I poke a hole in it and drain it, or let it be? What's blister etiquette?

    I had blisters recently. This is what I did.
    * STEP 1: Wash your hands with disinfectant soap and water.
    * STEP 2: Put on latex gloves.
    * STEP 3: Clean around the site of the blister using a disinfectant soap or solution.
    * STEP 4: Sterilize the tip of a needle, knife or scalpel by soaking it for at least three minutes in a disinfectant solution
    * STEP 5: Make a small incision at the base of the blister. Make sure you leave the roof of the blister attached so it can continue to protect the skin.
    * STEP 6: Use a gloved finger to gently push the fluid out.
    * STEP 7: Apply antibiotic ointment to a piece of gauze and cover the wound.
    * STEP 8: Cut a hole the size of the blister in a piece of moleskin.
    * STEP 9: Cover the blister with the moleskin so that the blister rests in the middle of the hole and the adhesive sticks to the skin around the blister.
    * STEP 10: Check the blister every day for signs of infection: heat, pain and swelling on or around the blister, pus, red streaks radiating from the blister, or fever.

    Awesome! I was afraid if I just left it alone (like I usually do) it would never subside because it's right on the ball of my food.

    Where can I find moleskin?
