This is exactly what I did the first time I saw it. After cleaning all instruments, I took a needle, sterilized it and poked some holes. Some fluid came out, kind of pinkish. I knew there was more inside so I got my cuticle scissors, sterilized them and made a little incision right in the middle of the blister. Lookes like straight line down the middle. Got most of the liquid out, did the disinfecting and the desitin, and then bandaged.
Cleaned it up again the next morning, but did not notice any pus or anything. Maybe I should have sqeezed it more, but I never noticed it. A few hours later, when Alan lost his sock and when I said "let me look at it again, he brought it up over his other leg and said "oh look, I think there's more stuff inside, and I went, "oh, I don't think so", but when I gently squeezed it, more whitish stuff (definitely not yellow). No red areas and no lines (like the last time. I got all the stuff out, and did what I mentioned in my previous post. I just checked it now (before bedtime and it's still flat).
So tomorrow, when we get up, I shall take a look. Now here's my question?
When I take off the bandage, and I see the little opening down the middle, do I gently squeeze it again (to see if more ooze comes out), or do I just do the cleaning and desitin and rebandaging again?
Thanks for all your help, honestly!!!
