I have a blister the size of a silver dollar on my foot. All this damn walking around europe is killing my feet.

Whats the least painful way to get rid of it?
 
Shoot yourself in the head. 😀

There are no real "painless" ways to treat a blister that i know of, just inject some numbing agents into your foot and wear sndals... novocaine maybe?

ps- are you in Holland? What are you doing there? Do much hiking? hehe Goes to show us g33kz aren't meant for physical labor...

This won't get rid of it, but copious amounts of Heineken will probably make it less painful.

Aye.

Get an extremely sharp knife and just kind of work it in from the side then ooze all the puss out. All this college campus walking has me getting blisters and i've already done this to 3 and now they're completely healed and don't hurt a bit. It didn't even hurt popping it.
 
couldn't tell ya, i've never had a blister. i always catch them before they develop. bring a roll of duct tape with you, and after ~20 minutes stop and cover any hot spots on your feet with a piece of duct tape.
 
if you have to pop it, then clean the area and a pin with alchohol (isopropyl, not ethanol😛) and puncture it to drain. Cover the hole with a band-aid so it doesn't get infected.
 
Ok i poked a small hole and DAMN did that bitch squirt.

What exactally is a blister and whats the liquid inside?
 
Holland ain't got no mountains to hike. Highest elevation is about 500m I guess. Just cut it open and put a band-aid on it. Fastest way to get rid of. (also a lil' bit painful).
 
pop that sucker! it don't hurt!

the fluid is... water? puss? nah... puss is yellow and thicker... i think its mostly water.
 
Personally, I use my Battlehawk, peroxide, and a couple drinks. Slice open with the BH, pour on the peroxide to kill any chance of infection, then drink to kill any pain.

Works for me.

The water from a blister is actually white blood cells tere ya go a fun fact of the day 😛
