Re: Help! - blisters on big toes (I think?)

[Guest guest]

got a pressure sore on her big toe after her first day in the Markells

but it doesn't sound like that is what your son has. The pressure sore was ugly

looking...black/purple with a red ring around it but no swelling like you

describe. I'm sorry I can't help more but it doesn't sound like a pressure sore

anyway. I know someone else will have some good feedback for you.

Help! - blisters on big toes (I think?)

When we took Rory's Markell shoes off tonight we saw he has swelling/lumps on

the pads

of each big toe. Are these blisters? They look like his toes have a lump on

them, they are

not like a normal blister (it doesn't look like the blister is on the surface

such that we

could pop it...does that make sense?). The lumps are nearly 1/2 the size of

his big toe

and are on the bottom and close to his #2 toes.

What do we do? I'll call the doctor in the morning, but I recently read

someone else had

problems with toe blisters in Markell's. Can anyone tell me if these are

blisters? If so,

what should I do...soak his piggies in epson salts??!!!?

My daughter has a blister right now from growing out of the s width

wise. Waiting for a new pair. But at first it was red and raiser and swollen.

Then about a week later it turned to a blister. So if you have the redness,

start padding it now before it turns to a blister!

How exactly do I pad it? Should I put cotton balls under his toes? Can you

explain what

you mean by padding it? Thank you!

This great! I'm printing your e-mail and using it as a shopping list

at the pharmacy tomorrow. His toes are so tiny...it will be a teeny

tiny blister bandaid. If I get confused I will give you a call.

Thank you!

> Ok, heres what you will need. Atleast this is what I do, and it

works great, and her blister has never broke. ...

> You will need...

> Kling Gauze

> Nexcare Medical Tape (my daughters got a latex sensitivity)

> Mole FOAM

> 2nd Skin Burn pads (these are made out of sterile water, and

gelitin)

> Neosporin

>

> *Put a little Neosporin on the blister. Just a little though.

> *Cut a piece of the 2nd Skin pad to fit a little bigger than the

blister, and put it over the blister, and tape down.

> *Cut a piece of Mole FOAM (not mole skin!) into an oval shape 2-

3X the size of the blister. Cut a hole inside of that oval. Put the

blister in the middle of that hole so no edges are touching it.

> *Take and cut a piece of the Kling Gauze, fold in 1/2. I buy

this gauze because it is 100% softer than regular gauze, and still

good priced! Put the gauze, folded in 1/2 over the Mole Foam and

tape down
