how to heal a blister on toe

Wash your hands

Clean the blister gently with soap and water

Pat the area dry

Do not pop the blister if possible

Cover it with a blister bandage or nonstick sterile dressing

Change the dressing daily or if it gets wet or dirty

Reduce pressure on the toe by wearing roomy shoes

Use moleskin or padding around the blister, not directly on it

Keep the area clean and dry

If the blister breaks, leave the skin flap in place

Apply a thin layer of antibiotic ointment only if the skin is open

Watch for redness, warmth, swelling, pus, or worsening pain

Seek medical care if you have diabetes, poor circulation, or signs of infection
