Another Blood Blister

Sigh. I saw a tiny blister on the bottom of my foot yesterday. By tiny, it was less than 1.0 x 0.5 cm. I was thinking I should pop it to drain the tiny bit of fluid out before it gets worse. Well, I guess my habit of walking on the treadmill barefoot wasn’t good for it since it seemed to grow to about an inch round and popped spectacularly today. I didn’t notice anything until I saw bloody spots on the kitchen floor. I think what happened was that I managed to pop it when I stood in the dining room. The blister is on the outside bottom of my foot. There was a large puddle of blood on the wooden floor, and lots of blood spray on the wall about a couple of inches high. I was just glad that it didn’t pop on the carpet; that would have been a mess. I got some wet wipes and cleaned everything up. I wrapped the would area with gauze/stretch bandage/tubular net dressing but it bled through in about 30 minutes. I’m not sure why it’s bleeding so much; maybe because it’s on the bottom of my foot instead of on the side like the last blister.
