Re: Re: Help! - blisters on big toes (I think?)

[Guest guest]

you know what? that might work... try it. You may also try

something like lambswool if you can find it.

Blisters are caused by friction however. So you should really look

into figuring out why his toes are moving about against the sole of

the shoes and see if you can solve the problem at the same time as

treating the blisters. Could the shoe be too loose in the toe

box? Can you get it laced any tighter? You'll have to stop the

movement somehow if they're to get better. Poor little babe!

Ok, heres what you will need. Atleast this is what I do, and it works great, and

her blister has never broke. ...

You will need...

Kling Gauze

Nexcare Medical Tape (my daughters got a latex sensitivity)

Mole FOAM

2nd Skin Burn pads (these are made out of sterile water, and gelitin)

Neosporin

*Put a little Neosporin on the blister. Just a little though.

*Cut a piece of the 2nd Skin pad to fit a little bigger than the blister, and

put it over the blister, and tape down.

*Cut a piece of Mole FOAM (not mole skin!) into an oval shape 2-3X the size of

the blister. Cut a hole inside of that oval. Put the blister in the middle of

that hole so no edges are touching it.

*Take and cut a piece of the Kling Gauze, fold in 1/2. I buy this gauze

because it is 100% softer than regular gauze, and still good priced! Put the

gauze, folded in 1/2 over the Mole Foam and tape down

*Put the shoes back on.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call me!
