I came home from PE class to find a giant blister on the ball of my feet. Not only that, but the skin peeled off on my way home somehow, so it was nothing but red flesh. It's probably 2.5cm in diameter all around, and now walking hurts like a mofo

That is all

that sucks...a 1 inch blister? ouch

Try a heel lift. Blisters on the back of the foot? They could be blamed on the heel counter--the tough shoe leather that covers your heel. If the counter rubs the wrong area of your foot, you'll have blister trouble fast. The fix? "All you usually have to do is put in a heel lift," says Dr. Cowin. Make sure to use the same size heel lift in both shoes unless advised differently by your doctor, even if only one heel is blistering.

Use an insole. To avoid blisters on the heel and other parts of the foot, many doctors recommend a Spenco insole. These store-bought inserts cut down on friction to prevent new blisters and help ease the pain of existing ones, says Dr. Diamond.

Soak 'em in Epsom. "If you perspire too much, you're more prone to getting blisters," adds Dr. Diamond. "If that's your problem, soaking feet in Epsom salts can help dry excessive sweating." Dissolve Epsom salts in warm water and soak your feet for about five minutes at the end of the day. Then dry, thoroughly.

Give a double dose of healing gel. Research shows that triple antibiotic ointments can eliminate bacterial contamination after two applications. Neosporin and other nonprescription antibiotic ointments are sold in all drugstores. Avoid old standbys such as iodine and camphor-phenol, because they delay healing. After applying the antibiotic, you should cover the area with a gauze pad--but change that covering each time it gets wet to avoid contamination.
