I was walking in some suit shoes and ended up having to hike for 6 miles to get back to my house, it didn't feel too bad but now I think my foot is infected. How bad is it? It looked a lot worse before I put a plaster on. Before then it linked like it was bubbling almost, seeping green liquid.
Will I get sepsis and go blind? I squeezed the plaster and it dripped liquid
youre gonna die in an hour unless u go to emergency room
It's definitely infected. But it's not necrotic yet. I'd clean it with rubbing alcohol. Neosporin and keep a bandaid on it
I've got none of that but the bandaid so I'll do another wash in the sink and slap a plaster back on it
Use plenty of soap and good luck. Go buy some kind of disinfectant tomorrow at the latest.
in serbia we use type of hard liquor called rakija for stuff like that. I guess any booze would work
I've only got Southern Comfort aha.
Ouch, soap. I tried a watered down handsoup
35% abv is kinda low, but better than nothing if you are in a pinch
Also This:
I feel better after the second clean. I could barely walk this morning you see.
Milgays will tell you a good protip for this, which is to wear a pair of thin dress socks under your normal socks to cut down on the friction and additional blisters.
That's a good idea, actually. It happened to me recently, and I just put some big plasters on every time I wore shoes, it provided padding and prevented friction on the skin. But that sock trick sounds smart.
No problem. It'll help fo sho
If you're getting blisters in the same spot, the sock trick works great.
But what I find works great, just put a strip of duct tape on your skin where you're getting reoccurring blisters. That and foot powder to cut down on humidity.
>t. weekend warrior
Just buy them at the store
I'm broker than most people will ever be aha...
>alcohol
No no no. Applying rubbing alcohol to an open wound like this is such a horrible idea. The alcohol will absolutely destroy all your cells in the area, including your immune cells and your connective tissue. This lets the bacteria that survive the alcohol application take over so much more easily. Not to mention it'll dry the area out, too, and dry skin takes longer to heal and scars more easily. You should never be applying alcohol to wounds except MAYBE as soon as they happen. But even then you probably shouldn't. This is dangerous advice.
OP can use soap and water to ensure there's no dirt or contamination in the wound, and then he should cover it up with a plaster and ointment of some kind. Neosporin or even honey or vaseline. Really important to seal the wound.
This blows all the advice I'd ever heard away
This looks like any other popped blister to me. The green stuff is pus. Unless you start getting sick it's fine
what body part am i looking at
My neck
Did you make a thread to b***h about getting a foot blister? Why are zoomers like this?
It looked a lot worse before clean up, seeping pus and I watched a documentary about a guy who cut his finger, went to bed and woke up with no arms or legs basically
99% chance you're fine
Go to the pharmacy, pick up some antibiotic ointment and some big-ass plasters, clean that shit with soap and water, put the ointment on thick, put a plaster on. Repeat until scabbed over.
I swear, you fricking zoomers are so fricking dumb and clueless. Do any of you have a father in your life? Any sort of male role model? This is self-care 101, you should know how to handle light cuts and abrasions by the time you're 8.
No, we don't. We are the dumbest generation since the caveman. Our elders decided to not bother teaching us anything. I remember teaching myself to shave and I do have a dad who is around I asked him to teach me to style my hair because he was once a hair stylist and he refused. My mum and him had a huge argument but still didn't help me out
Frick. I am sorry.
Why the frick did he refuse? You ever find that out?
Nta, but I relate to him. Most boomers are just selfish by nature due to their upbringing. I love my dad but I had a hard time forgiving him for not teaching me anything.
Bootstraps, firm handshake yadda yadda
Eh, to be honest with you, mine didn't teach me shit either, now that I think of it. But I'm 35, so I had time to learn on my own.
If I ever have sons, I won't be like that, that's for damned sure.
>35
>No kids yet
Modern times are really fricked. I had my first kid at 27 and everyone looks at me like I'm a teen dad at 14. It's whack.
In 24 and feel 18 still, life stands still when there's no progression, my parents met at 16 and 18
Idk, maybe it's a personality thing, but I've had the same personality since I was like, 10-12 years old. People always told me I was mature for my age, but in a not groomer way. An old soul. I guess I've always felt older, I've never actually felt 16.
Yeah same here. At 8 "he's so mature" at 16 "he's grown up" at 22 "he's boring" at 25 "he's nothing special". An old soul from the start. By still feel 18 I mean that i can't get a job I keep, I can't get above minimum wage, I can't move out, I can't afford a car, I can't get a girl
>can't can't can't can't can't
Why not? Bust your fricking ass and get a decent trade or a stem degree.
You CAN still make it anon, I believe in you. Even if you don't right now.
>At 8 "he's so mature"
Youre getting judged by +30yo women
>at 16 "he's grown up"
Still the opinion of 30yo women
>at 22 "he's boring"
Now youre getting judged by your peers, other 22yo women
>at 25 "he's nothing special".
Also judged by your peers
See the difference. At 8, the other 8yos thought your were boring. At 16 the other 16yos thought you were boring. You've always been boring.
Old soul used to mean you liked classic blues, jazz and old fasioneds. Now you zoomer kids use it to describe someone who stays in all day and doesn't have a social life
Nah I actually am an old soul I stand by the phrase fully.
I've tried tried tried and tried. The op is after I walked 6 miles to a job interview I didn't get
You're boring.
>I can't x5
You're a loser
>walked 6 miles to a job interview I didn't get
Loser confirmed. Probably showed up sweaty and stinky
Look back on your life and realize you're just a loser. But it's ok. You can't have winners without guys like you being losers
What's the point in posting this? Never mock those who tried and failed only those that have ego or choose not to play
Because he has a defeatist mentality. "I can't" are the words of someone who isn't trying.
You CAN do anything if you work hard enough.
You CAN do anything even if the world tells you you can't
So for him to come here. Talking about he's an "old soul" "I can't do anything right" and all his other "pity me" language. It's just annoying. People have had worse lives and found higher success. Why? Because they didn't let the world tell them they "cant" they told themselves they "can" and so they "did"
Even though this is a circle jerk board I will not tolerate being pathetic.
If you have never been on the ground kicked there by life after 2 and a half decades of trying you will never understand. I never said "I can't do anything right", and I showed I have kept trying by going to a job interview I had to walk 12 miles round trip too.
People who have huge success often have a dozen factors for why in and out of their control
It's funny how people forget about the 20%, in poverty, or the 60% living paycheck to paycheck, or the 35% of single young men.
So youre literally just like most other 25 year olds. What makes your pity party so special. You had to walk 12 miles? Boo hoo. You don't have enough conviction to not be comfortable.
>poverty
>paycheck to paycheck
They have this awesome place called the military where skilless folks like you can pick yourself up by your bootstraps. Make decent pay, and not have to pay for anything. But let me guess. Thats too much work for you.
You haven't hit the bottom yet. You don't even know what rock bottom feels like. You haven't been kicked. You have a roof over your head and wifi. Grow up.
You are pathetic.
Yes. I'm the pathetic one for telling you to actually work or shut up about being kicked down when millions are in your shoes and millions have found a way out.
Or are you the pathetic one for wallowing in your own shallow pity pool
OP stop arguing with .
He's a mean c**t but what he's saying is true and actually inspiring if you read it from a different pov
Shut up you blackpilling homosexual. Don't kick him while he's down right now.
>inb4 "hopium"
You are still trying though. That's why I believe in you.
Thank you anon. I wanted to have made it by 25. Maybe 30 is gonna be closer to reality eh
St. Joseph, Head of the Holy Family, pray for us.
Nta but ouch that's a brutal reality check. Gonna be thinking about this for a while
Maybe, idk. Hasn't stopped me from getting a university degree in electrical engineering, getting married, and having two kids. Not the most extravagant lifestyle, but I do get to do cool shit in the context of the army, sometimes. People like to listen to the stories at least.
I fear for the future of my older siblings and others I know. I think suicide rates are going to go drastically spike once all of these childless people hit their 50s
Yeah, its not ideal, I admit. If I ever do have kids, I'll be an old dad. But what the frick am I to do? Can't force those things, you knock up the wrong broad, and its over for you. And most men I know knocked up the wrong broads, now they're divorce raped half to death and miserable as can be.
Ditto. I'm 25 and and have been scrambling to stop having my thumb stuck up my ass
Pretty much. He is kind to me and enjoys my company but never taught me anything, and never gave me advice for Jobs or women or fitness or style despite those all being big parts of his life
It's just a slightly inflamed blister, nothing too serious. It leaking liquid in some quantity is normal. Keep it clean, use iodine ointment and bandaids. If it starts feeling hot to the touch or if you start having a general feeling of sickness, go to a doctor and get an antibiotic ointment. That's it.
Rubbing alcohol will kill the good bacteria. But honestly, coat that shit with Vaseline or your petroleum jelly of choice, and slap a bandaid on it.
Wounds heal in wet environments, so if you leave it dry, it'll always crack and never heal properly.
medgay here.
it doesn't really look infected. if the intact skin around the wound starts to get red then seek a doctor for an oral antibiotic.
as long as you dont have diabetes or uncontrolled sugar levels it should heal fine.
since it looks like its already started to heal, the chance to disinfect it is probably gone. you can apply a one time splash of peroxide if you still want to try to disinfect, but then cover with a petroleum jelly bandage and change once a day. pad heavily so it receives no friction from the back of your daily shoes.
your dick looks weird bro
Your momma bit it funny
No, it's just classic shoe/sock "burn". you will get the same from fricking on a carpet. Nothing dangerous. Spray it with some alcohol and let it dry out out on air.
Horrible advice. See my post here:
>little b***h homosexual gets a small blister
>manages to get it infected
>doesnt know how to deal with infected wounds
I weep for the younger generations, and I'm 26!
Yeah just use neosporin and keep a bandaid on it. Change the bandage everyday. Make sure it's a thick/strong enough bandage so that it doesn't peel off from walking around.
