blister

[Junny123]

i wore new shoes a week ago for two days and had to stop wearing them as they were so uncomfortable- felt tight and made my feet very sore. one evening i looked and my skin was peeling them peeled off them for a blister then got pus them burst them all the skin around is inflamed red and so so sore. i had to wear a bandage because it would leak constantly. has anybody experienced or understand this problem

There are gel blister pads that can be put on the blister and help in healing. Look in any chemist.

Use these pads when wearing the shoes next time.

i’m not going to dare wear shoes at the moment it’s that painful

Sounds like you have infection from blister..probably staphylococcus...in any case you need an antibiotic..Ceflexin or Augmentin ( Keflex 500 3x daily or Amoxicillin-Clavulonic

acid 875-125 2x daily ) should

work. Plain Amoxicillin will not work. Best etheral

i had no choice but go see my gp. he checked and said i’ve not got an infection which i’m so surprised about

[etheral in reply to Junny123]

So what did the GP say was the problem and how did he/she treat it? etheral

[Junny123 in reply to etheral]

he said it’s not an infection but definitely looks painful. i thought well tell me what to do! he said try n keep it uncovered. take painkillers.

[etheral in reply to Junny123]

Sry you're not getting better treatment. Did he give you a diagnosis? Did he prescribe painkillers? Hope it clears soon! etheral

Oh dear,, sounds as though they've got infected. Go to your local pharmacy and have a chat with them, they might even have a look at it for you, instead of you having to make a appointment with a GP.

they didn’t even call me in after 111 told me to call them. they asked me the details and said we think u have an infection so go and see your gp

You could try to stretch the shoes before wearing them again. You can pack them with paper, or use a shoe stretcher. Depending where the blister/s were you can put an insole to lift your foot up or a heel pad. With new shoes I wear them in at home only wearing them for short period each day at first.

Hope the infection clears up well with the antibiotic.
