Blister on side of foot that won't go away.

A few weeks ago, I ran a Race For Life. During the run, we had to run through some wet grass so my feet got a bit wet. After that, I felt a bit soreness on the side of my foot under my big toe. When I got home there was a blister there. That blister got smaller but has not fully gone away since, with running 2-3 times a week. After running today, I noticed the blister looked bigger again and a tiny blister above it. I have taken a photo to show this. I didn't feel any soreness while I was running. I have been running in my trainers since April with no problems before. Could it be my trainers or is it just because I am running regularly so the blister does not have time to heal? Thanks for any advice.

Yes maybe just not run for a few days and I think you can buy compeed blister patch they speed up the healing process 😊

Ouch! Compeed is great for blisters.

Now that you are running longer you probably need to consider some proper running shoes which are usually larger than your everyday shoes.
