Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Blisters to pop or not to pop?

Oh Pootle! I thought there was a "no manky pictures" ordinance.

I've got some crackers I could post...

And "on topic", I regard tackling the blisters as one of the rewards of marathon running. It's great fun!

POP!

Those pics are a couple of years old though, which means unless Santa comes in here, which she won't because she hates feet, she won't see them again :-)

You could alyways upload to Flikr or Facebook and paste the links here?

I love popping blisters.
Then use the toenail clippers to cut away the loose skin.
I never cover them though.
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.

Dowse, that's my technique too - Pop and tape down with elastoplast or similar. It's what we was taught in the army to do. Never used compeed, so no idea of its effectiveness.

Stander - gross and unhygenic. Just what I would expect. :-)

lol! some of you are quite gross :P

I generally dont pop mine as it hurts more once theyve popped although sometimes its unavoidable......

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!
