Hi Barbara:

Thanks for the kind words. Everything looked good this morning. This afternoon, he was sitting at the computer and his sock was off (because he is numb he can't tell when his socks come off!!!, so I said "let me look at it again, and (with clean hands). The area was not swollen, or discolored. Alan said "I think there's some more stuff in it, and sure enough, when I pressed it, the stuff came out of it. Kind of like a bit of ooz. Nothing black. White stuff, kind of like gel. I made sure to get it all out and I put the antiseptic in it and everything. When I finished, everything was nice and clean and it was flat.

I disinfected the area and put a dab of desitin on it and then put a big band-aid.


When I check tomorrow, what if more stuff comes out? I mean, there are no obvious signs of infection, but when is it healed??? What do I look for??


Actually, this is the first time I've done this on Alan (I've had blisters years ago in the back of my foot when I had a tight shoe but they had clear water in them and I just dabbed antiseptic and put a band aid).

The little ooze out of Alan's blister, well I never expected it to be there.
Hope I did the right thing?????
