*Have you just watched this video and wished you'd never put that hydrocolloid on?* Because you've put it on an intact or torn blister? Well, don't panic! While it's on, it's not doing any harm. *It only becomes a problem when you go to take the Compeed off.* So consider just leaving it on for as long as possible until it becomes very loose. Then give it a soak in soapy water to help loosen the remaining adhesive and help you remove it safely. Hope this helps. ~ Rebecca 😃👣

Yesterday was hot, I wore sandals and walked around 10km without a care in the world. Fastforward and today I am in bed with two huge blisters in each foot (one ruptured) watching treatment videos on youtube because I can't take a step without limping and flinching. Somehow, finding all the people in the comments are also trying to figure out how to treat their blisters is making me feel less miserable. Together in pain and confusion. Cheers, everyone!

literally the only video i've watched that actually says how to treat the blister, rather than how to prevent it. thanks for actually having your video contents match the title

Guess who ripped their roof off on purpose before watching this video💀💀💀

Me who removed my blister roof because i thought it cant heal if the roof stays ;-;

Thanks for clarifying about the scab. I’m a wilderness first responder and treat blisters all the time, but no one has ever mentioned that particular issue of keeping the wound area moist.

My blister roof just split today due to it being on my hand, this helped a lot.

Yeah, you really want to keep the "roof". I've had blisters be fine after 2 days because the "roof" was intact. I've got one on each heel that are torn and it's a proper bugger to heal up

Oh great I did everything completely wrong.

I'm usually bad, if I have a roofed blister that is painful, I will get a sterile pin, make a small hole, drain it, keep the roof on and put a plaster over it. The pain is reduced and I swear it heals quicker! So I'm a little naughty but try to keep it all as sterile as possible!

Finally a great and full explanation. There’s actually another video of a doctor stating the complete opposite of this. This definitely makes more sense. To leave it alone and let the body heal. How could there be doctors on here telling g people to pop them if it makes them more likely to get infected 🤔🤦🏽‍♂️

The weirdest thing is I cut my blister roof off many times before, I don't do anything to it after beside cleaning it in the shower. It just heals in a couple of days, without me doing much to it really. Though to be fair this is why I prefer walking/running/hiking barefoot or with sandals, so I don't get a blister.

I thought COVID was the only epidemic to worry about. It seems deroofed blisters is approaching the same level. Foot blisters are really not a joke, and it is truly affecting my life at this point. Argh! Thank you for the video, it helps a lot.

Deroofed blister is very painful like anything -_-

I got a blood blister on the soft part of my foot (on the part right before my toes) i didn't know anything about any of this till now, im soak my feet and washing them, then putting a clean dry pair of socks on. This video actually really helped me.

I was walking on the beach, was hot as hell, didn’t think anything of it til I got to the cold watery sand and realized that I had both my bug toes looking like a lumpy towel, lesson learned

I just watched blister prevention and was thinking I hope she has treatment because I... Yup.

When I get a blister on my foot, I rub it with an alcohol swab, make a small tear right on the edge, push all the fluid out, and try to get the layers of skin as close together as possible so there’s no air or fluid underneath. Then I put a band-aid over it; the kind we have is really flexible and sticky on all sides of the pad. I make sure it’s tight enough that the sun can’t move around a lot, but I’m the right position for me to move my foot in the ways I need to. Then, every morning and night I do it again; this lasts a few days. Eventually the skin will just get hard and seem to be a thick callus, but like a week later the top layer will peel off, so I cut off the loose parts. Done it a few times and honestly? It works really well. Doesn’t hurt very much and has never gotten infected

I read that as thousand island dressing...

I was trying to break my docmartins' in but got horrible blisters that ripped in the shoe! This is huge help

Thanks for the info. I have a wicked blister on my left foot. I’ve been doing 15mile pt walks everyday except Sunday’s. I found this video highly informative and insightful. 3#green boys.

I ran a track meet and had a blister and when I finished running the whole roof came off LMAO and now I’m here

Thank you for this great video. The illustrations are golden and clearly and succinctly describe the blister types and their treatment. Thank you.

Have a blister on the top of my right pinky toe as a result of lots of hiking and for the first time in my life, actually trying out how to treat a blister *correctly.*

Thank you so much. I had a deroofed blister. My hydrocolloid bandage came off in the shower, and I wasn't sure whether to let it breathe or put another one on.

“Reduce friction “ me having two a days for soccer everyday

1:38 Her: *change into dry socks* Me: *Oh ok then I guess I’ll put my wet socks away*

This helped so much! Thank you!

well then wasn't I unlucky. 2 blisters on each foot exact same spots as if one were copied to the other. Both blisters were located under my hallux (big toe) where it bends.. I decided since that is a rather awkward spot since we bend our toes a lot to walk I popped it making it more comfortable to walk on and of cause kept it clean as much as possible

bye- i cant wear shoes to school. I have them under my foot, on the back of my heels, the side of my foot and one on the top. it hurts!!

I got a blister bubble on both my pinkies and I just learned NOT to pop it. I did not know it was made of 90% water that’s crazy

At first I thought I had 2 mosquito bites on my foot, I started itching them and then they popped. Turn out they weren’t mosquito bites.

Ohhh damn. I got home from my run and found a teeny tiny little tear in my blister. So glad I went home when I did.

Thanks for that information. It was very informative and I will leave my blisters to heal on their own.

What do you recommend I do? I have a deroofed blister on the bottom of my big toe.

Times like this i wish i had wolverine's healing factor. :)

Me thinking that my foot just had some painful dead skin cells: *hmm lemme just pick that*

I have a deroofed blister right along my right heel. I’m a type one diabetic and had it wrapped up and it wouldn’t heal. I let it air dry a few days after a hydrocolloid plaster and it healed in three days.

I needed this right now

I had 3 roofed blisters on my feet from stupidly wearing boots I hadn’t broken in yet. I was on my way home and had to run away from a guy harassing me in the street so now they’re all deroofed 👍

i got this random blister, at first it stinged, i thought it was a bump until i had a look, i was so shook

I have huge deroofed blisters on the ball AND heel on BOTH FEET. I didn't realize how bad it was until the next day. I'm bedridden now, I can't take a single step without being in so much pain. Thankfully I have polysporin and hydrocolloid dressings on hand so I crawled on my hands and knees to it and to use the bathroom. I hope this heals quickly 😢

I literally just ripped a huge piece of skin off my foot playing basketball, but luckily it’s still intact hurts a ton though. Also, they still can’t guard me lmao. Let’s see how this goes..

Walked barefoot on a deroofed blister within a deroofed blister It got pretty painful and got red and dripping wet. Also got a super filled blister on same foot, just punctured it to release fluid Roof is still intact, and I am waiting to see if it will heal with roof on

I always cut a lil cut or jab a lil hole into my blisters. That way the moisture can get out. Real nice feeling .

I had a deroofed blister which I used a hydrocolloid one, was working fine but after 3days came unstuck. The blister seems to be dry/has a thin transparent layer over the base. Should I apply another hydrocolloid? Or just antiseptic/petroleum and an island dressing? Also, does hydrogen peroxide work as an antiseptic?

Thank you! Very helpful!

How long do blisters usually heal? I have a blister that is the size of a small grape. The roof is still intact

So I don’t put thousand island dressing on it?

Hello, I currently have a “deroofed blister” the same size and location of the one in the video picture. I’ve been using a liquid antiseptic to clean it and Neosporin to dress it while wrapping it with gauze to somewhat let it breathe. Should I be using a bandage to completely seal it off so no air gets to it, or is the gauze acceptable? Also, the center has become very red as if developing a blood clot from walking on it. Is that normal or should I be concerned and take more preventative measures? Thanks in advance!

I went out for a 10mi. Walk/jog & got blisters on both my feet. I felt pain towards the last 2 miles but pushed last the pain & now I have mega blisters 😔

i literally have severs disease and im not supposed to be doing much but my dad made me walk around a whole freaking amusement park and standing in line for hours on end for a whole day and sUrprise, i have blisters and i was begging him to go home cos if you have severs, you know how painful it is so i was trying not to cry with the pain then i discover THIS, blisters

I wore my favourite boots to school (off brand doc-martens) and I noticed it hurt really bad to walk after around an hour. then I got home and realized that I have two HUGE blisters on my right ankle. then I remembered that I have a Terry Fox run tomorrow at school, that is mandatory, so that's gonna be so fun 🥲

Thank you. This video just prevented me from doing another stupid thing. :>

Excellent video!

Thank you super helpful video

:( it’s on my feet (one on each foot), the roof is still intact, but should I not walk? Will walking deroof the blister??

Glad I went here before taking off the roof >_>

So in other words don't tear the skin off when it's trying to heal otherwise it takes longer to heal and you're more than likely to get infected so I have been doing the right thing when I've been just draining the liquid out and leaving the skin on it's torn but it's not infected in any type of way so I'm keeping the skin on and I'm going to put a bandage over it and hope that will make it heal in a couple of weeks.

Dang first thing I usually do, is pop the blister roof and squeeze out all the clear fluid.

Thank you

My first Real Blister at 16 I kinda panicked at first even though I took a class on First Aid Emergency, just to make sure I did it right I watched this video. And yeah I was kinda right with keeping everything in tact

That was better than the zero we learned in medical school

I spilled hot water on my foot one week ago. It immediately turned into a huge blister on my toe and I tried really hard not to pop the blister, but it was too uncomfortable and got bigger and bigger every day. So after 5 days, I finally drained it with a sterilized needle and put some antibiotic ointment and covered it up with a bandage. Now after two days, I feel numbness around my toes and just noticed I have some inflation on the sole of my foot. Don't know how long it has been swollen, but it has made walking difficult for me. It sounds really pathetic that just some boiling water can do so much damage, and I feel stupid to tell anyone I'm limping. Can it be infected? Any advice would be appreciated since I'm still struggling with the healing process. Thanks

I poured boiling water upper than my right hand wrist and now a huge egg-sized blister appeared after two days. Thanks to your video I know deroofing is harmful but currently, the blister fluid is more than normal and somehow likes to testicles dangling from my wrist:) meanwhile no pain. Could I use syringes to suck out extra fluid?

Thank you ❤

Hi I have a deroofed blister and it’s big on my ankle very red should I let the air get to it or clean it put neosporin on it and cover it with a bandaid at all times?

glad i decided to google this before i tore it off lol

Thank you for this information. I have blisters like in no1 and will treat it accordingly.🆒😎👍

Anyone else just learn what a blister roof is. And that you shouldn't have been popping and removing it your whole life.

If I am treating an intact roof blister that is fluid filled and therefore raised, I assume that 7mm orthopedic felt (donut pad) is what you would suggest, covered by mixomull. I am concerned about the tape in this scenario sticking to the roof of the blister. After applying the donut pad, would a piece of gauze be suitable to cover the blister before applying the mixomull?

I think that many people are with me in the same boat when I say that I painfully peeled off the blister roof because I thought it would heal faster that way 😂

I have another you did not mention. Sharp pain like I stepped on glass

I have one on both hand thank goodness

thank you!

Mine right now is roof torn😔

I had a bad burn due to hot food! Question, what are those micro tiny worm like things in the burn?

So what do you do if you have the roof and it isn’t cut open, do you just leave it there and will it eventually go away? Or do you have to do something for the blister roof so it can go away

I have a hot spot do i need anything else other than washing my hand with cold water

Funny how I did absolutely nothing when this happen. I just let nature kick in, bubble form, bubble pop, teared hole appear, it turn red a few day, then some skin cover it up again. The result of red phase is on my left foot and result of skin already cover the red afterward is on the right foot.

Should I ice it or used celamine lotion ?

I have s blisters on my feet and it’s almost a week and the blisters is not popping..can I pop it?

How long until the blister goes down/away? My first time burning myself was years ago, and it basically popped while it was wrapped while i was working out. i didnt notice until i looked at it, haha.

I just got a blister today.but I just that was kinda helpful is thanks😊

I got a huge torn roofed blister on the bottom of my right foot I hope these steps help 😓

Yes, lady try that.. Im sure it wont work.. See the way you treat blisters, you could maybe get away with small blisters on child skin.. Im my case they were deep, like 2mm under the skin.. The pain was extreme and YES I had to pop it to get rid of the water.. Then I removed the dead skin, and it helped with some pain caused by walking. The blisters kept comming back for 2 months and for as long I hiked the mountains. I dont have blisters no more, but that thick skin is what im left with and it dont feel nice.

watching this because i work at amazon lmao

I have a huge blister cluster on my shoulder are there any tips to help It?

My 7 years old child got blister in summer season. Is there any remedy for avoiding blister.

I will never walk to the mall in my boots anymore

If you must continue to walk on a foot with a blister, should you reduce pressure by draining the blister, as it inevitably burst anyways, at least once its been drained it can be dressed without the pressure.

Hey I have a blister on one of my toes and it appears infected? It used to be a blood blister but it’s now slightly purple on the edges and has a white middle. I’m not sure what I should do besides what I did today which is soaking in epsom salt. Any tips?

I have a boil on my right legs last toe From last 6months Please help me heal it🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hey, I have a blood blister but it doesn’t hurt, and it’s not big, it’s Farley new, do I pop it or let it heal on its own? Cause I got school this week and I don’t know if I should pop it or leave it

I have a blister on my pinky toe. I looked up what to do for it (it’s closed roof) google says that if it’s painful, to prick it with a clean needle in the edges and drain it. Is that a safe thing to do? Or do I just leave it alone?

Does this go the same for wart removal blisters?

I always get these when I'm running I always soak my feet in salt water it helps alot!

I almost got deroofed, but the roof was barely intact and later got completely deroofed.

This is the only channel that doesn't advice piercing a blister roof. I'm confused. Will the liquid disappear?

I have a tiny blister the side of your pinky finger nail, I’ve put a round kind of tissue thing on it with a bandage for the night, what should I do for it?
