Tiny but painful blister on foot

After completing Race for Life today, I noticed a very small blister on the inside of my foot, very close to the ball of the foot. I think it happened because my feet got a bit wet running through wet grass. Although the blister is barely bigger than a grain of rice, it is sore when I walk. I think that's because as I'm walking, my foot rolls and the blister is probably making contact with the ground. I put a plaster over the top but I can still feel it when I walk. Is there anything I can do to speed up the healing as I have work tomorrow where I will be on my feet a lot?

There are blister plasters which are reputedly very good, or if it's a small one you could maybe try a small corn plaster to relieve the pressure, although I'm not sure how that would be to walk on

Compeed plasters are awesome. Have tried other similar but always go back to compeed. They are not cheap but do work.

If the area is clean and dry when you put the plaster on it will remain in place for 3-5 days.

Have had some serious blisters hill walking and my compeeds were a life saver.

I second Compeed

I’m always going on about them they protect and heal at the same time and if put on right stay on for a long time they are like a second skin
