Foot care and blisters

I have managed to gain a huge blister on my foot (my weakness for not so sensible shoes) and it is turning a little on the grotty side. So far I have washed it and applied liberal amounts of tea tree oil. I was wondering if anyone has any advice? It is very sore and starting to throb.

Having no energy as this is so limiting.
It would be a good idea to get it looked at by podiatrist, DN or practise nurse - whoever you can get in to see.
In the meantime I would keep it as dry as you can - especially now that you have liberally annointed it with tea tree oil! And also keep it covered; you can get soft padded plasters at the chemists which are helpful.

Sometimes the smaller the injury the more it affects you. :( Hope it feels better soon. :)

ps Ditch the shoes and buy some nicer ones that won't attack you! :)
