And I too love picking at the crusty edges a day ot so latter. Note - I only love doing all of this to my own blisters. It's not some pervy foot fetish I am confessing to here.

A few months ago after a 20+ mile training run i got a blood blister under my toe nail and it sent my toe numb! I did on that occasion pop it with a needle and it popped with such gusto i was quite suprised yet strangely satisfied lol!
