[QUOTE 4491326, member: 259"]Yep, the grabbing swine make you buy a new plaster for each problem![/QUOTE]

I was thinking it would be mega bucks but £2.99 for 5 medium patches I thought was a bargain. 5 seems an odd number would have though 4 or 6 but hey ho.

The fluid in the blister is doing a few things...Firstly it's protecting the area and cushioning it. Secondly it's providing a germ free environment. Thirdly, its cooling the area. If you can, leave it be.. if you can't, leave it be and get compeed on it...never pop a friction or heat blister, your body's mechanisms have had quite a few millenia working out how to deal with stuff, you've only been around for a few decades.....

Not so sure. You've only got the blister in the first place because you've exceeded the design spec of that bit of skin. The blister is a symptom not the healing mechanism I'd suggest

Seems the real problem goes even further. Ill fitting footwear. Our bodies haven't yet adapted to the things we shove our feet into, and I'm mostly thinking of the strappy things my wife wears on occasion and then can't wait to take off.
I took the dog for a walk on the beach this morning. Both of us barefoot (barepaws) and neither of us got blisters.
