Blisters 🤔🤔

[Buddy34]

Ran just over 10k today on another brand new route , it was tougher in parts but it was raining my favourite running weather.

So on my run on Friday I was just short of 5k so ran round in a circle twice to the watch buzzed. I remember brushing by a overhanging tree and yesterday I had 2 small lumps on my arm. Then this morning the blisters were bigger and filled with clear fluid. I also have a red patch surrounding them and its warm.

If it's still the same tomorrow I will go in to see a pharmacist. I'm not in any pain or anything.

The tree is the only thing I can think of that caused it .

Happy running people 😊😊🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Sorry about the blisters, I do think that running past that hanging tree caused the blisters in your arm, I just hope they go down soon, but if not go to the pharmacist to check it out.

Well done on your run today.

Hope he blisters don’t cause you any pain or discomfort. Good plan to see a pharmacist otherwise.

Enjoy the remainder of your weekend.

Oww

Pharmacist sounds like a good plan.

[Allbarron 60minGraduate]

Absolutely a trip to pharmacy just to check! Thank goodness they won't hinder your running 🥺

I know , can you imagine 🤣🤣

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Eek bit of reaction to whatever it was. I hope it clears up soon. Take care 🤗

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Sure it was the tree but who knows😊

[Grannyhugs Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

Theres a plant identifier app available- google play plant identifier. You take a photo and it tells you about the plant - may shed some light as to what it could be. 🤗

Gosh Buddy. Hope it something that clears up soon! Well done on a 10k though. Look after yourself.

[Mum22boys Graduate10]

Fingers crossed they settle down soon, hopefully just reaction to something. Hope you won't need to but if you do finger's crossee it's something the pharmacist can sort 🤞

Do you have any antihistamines / hayfever tablets? It might help with the red swelling.

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

Yes I do , thanks for that 👍

Well done on the run but ouch! You got me looking up "stinging trees". This is worth a look en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phy... WARNING: some pretty grim pictures of blisters on there.

Might be worth seeing if the tree can be cut back by local authorities if it's the cause. Stinging trees, who knew? (Not me)

[Sybilw Graduate10]

It could be giant hogweed as I know that causes blisters. Let us know - it’s got us all wondering.

[Wenderwoo]

Nasty! You could try anthisan cream - it’s an antihistamine cream for allergic reactions....

Does this look familiar?

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Sybilw]

No I think its a Hawthorn tree that caused it but not sure.

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

Ouch. Just mentioned it as flowers seem innocuous and I didn’t know about this one till recently.

[Run46 Graduate10]

Oh Buddy, you do seem to have some eventful runs! Wonder what sort of tree it was to give you that reaction!?

Hope it sorts itself out so you don't have the hassle of the pharmacy etc.

Perhaps antihistamines would help 🤷‍♀️

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Run46]

put a new post up today, the blisters are still there but there is a spreading red skin rash surrounding it so showed the pharmacist and she told me to phone the doctor. Emailed photos to the doctor and he said I needed antibiotics and keep an eye on it😊

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

How strange, lets hope the antibiotics do the job then 🤨xx
