Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: omg i feel your pain i hate the blisters you get from pointe so much!. haha!. ok heres what i do!. take a tiny needle (make sure the needle is clean) and pop it then you're gonna want to keep it open and put vitamin D on it ( i know that sounds weird but it helps it heal) and then you could simply put a band-aid on it!. hope that helps! good luck on pointe!! answer mine too please! http://answers!.yahoo!.com/question/index;!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I get blisters from my point shoes all of the time!. what i do is: pop it with a sterillized needle then take the dead skin off (gross right!?) but then i get these vitamin E gel cap pills and you can cut those open and this gooey gel comes out and i put that on the open blister (vitamin E helps protect damaged skin and helps new skin grow back where you put it on)!. then i bought these patched called 2nd skin and you put it over the blister and it's just like having regular skin on your foot and it doesn't hurt at all!. then i secure the 2nd skin patch with a couple of band-aids (you never know when thay could come off of your foot when you're on pointe)!. you should be fine for point after that!. your blister should heel within a day or two! hope that helps! -CarolineWww@QuestionHome@Com Ohhhh, I remember my first blister, not fun :( But don't panic! It will be fine!. First you pop it with something sharp that will do the job!. Then you take something to clean it out!. It might sting a little!. After, if your going to bed, then leave it to air out over night, this will prevent the pain the next day!. But if you aren't going to bed then put a bandaid on!. The next day if its still really hurting, it's not good to keep dancing, so ask the teacher if you can put your soft shoes on!. Or if nesissary, sit out for a little!. And also, you can buy 'Ouch Pouches' or put lambs wool in the point shoes, these things help a lot if you don't already have them :) Keep good care of your feet, It'll be worth it!Www@QuestionHome@Com You really shouldnt pop it, the fluid builds up to cushion the damaged tissue!. However, if its really interferring with dance, which I suspect it will, you need to clean the whole area, and peirce it at an angle with a sterilized needle!. Drain the fluid, cover with neosporin AFTER IT DRIES then cover with a bandageWww@QuestionHome@Com well if you pop it use a needle that is sterilized!. It doesn't hurt when you pop it with the needle and liquid does come out so have a napkin ready!. I wouldn't suggest tearing off the dead skin though because then it stings and you wouldn't want tender skin on your feet when you're dancing right!?Www@QuestionHome@Com I dance too, and i've been told numerous times not to pop it!. But if your having trouble walking i suggest you do i usually just talk a safety pin that has been cleaned with rubbing alchol!. But afterwards put some bactracin on it and cover it with a band aid so avoid infection!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Get a sewing needle, clean it with alcohol, then use the needle to puncture the blister!. squeeze the water out, put some neosporin or other antiseptic on the site, and then bandage it or put a bandaid on it!. Just keep it clean and it will be fine!.Www@QuestionHome@Com UM pop it with your hands/ nails and put on neosporn and a band aid and try to clean it out with rubbing alchol and good luck in point " it rocks"Www@QuestionHome@Com |
