And then when I DO get one...I put the Band-Aid brand Blister bandage on it to heal it faster... </p> http://sweat365.com/forum/topic/497#post-2074 Wed, 30 Jul 2008 16:25:24 +0000 dave 2074@http://sweat365.com/forum/ <p>have you tried moleskin? </p> http://sweat365.com/forum/topic/497#post-2066 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 06:39:24 +0000 reverey 2066@http://sweat365.com/forum/ <p>The blister is still there but now, instead of it just being a tad sore above the toenail, on the tip, it's now sore on the nailbed. Sigh. I bought Blister Block...but that's a prevention...as are the slip on toe caps I bought at a dance store. I wore a band-aid designed to speed up the recovery of the blister today...in hopes of making it go away so I can then prevent another with the goodies I bought. lol It's a cycle.<br /> I'm just worrying that when I do my Wednesday morning run, that the toe is going to throb. Uggggh.<br /> I'll let you know if any of the aforementioned stuff actually WORKS. </p> http://sweat365.com/forum/topic/497#post-2064 Mon, 28 Jul 2008 06:44:05 +0000 Brad Hefta-Gaub 2064@http://sweat365.com/forum/ <p>I wish I had some good advice for you... but I guess I've been lucky to only have a few blisters in my relatively short running career. When I have got a blister, I've just hoped for the "get it over with quick" approach, and I've tried to do very little to it in hopes that it will cure itself... as in: pop, then callus over... I've been lucky that when I did get a blister it was never close enough to a race to matter.</p> <p>I've heard of using baby powder (but I'm not sure how)... I've also heard of using Vaseline on your feet. Again, not sure how this is supposed to work. I think the theory is you put these on before you run, and it prevents blisters... but to me it sounds uncomfortable and not fool-proof.</p> <p>Maybe other folks will have suggestions. </p> http://sweat365.com/forum/topic/497#post-2062 Sat, 26 Jul 2008 21:38:34 +0000 reverey 2062@http://sweat365.com/forum/ <p>I know there's an "ouch my toe" post but I was curious...does anyone know any tried and true methods to prevent blisters/toe pain? The second toe on my right foot was sore the other day WHILE running...today, it didn't hurt at all until about mile 7 (out of 8) and once I took my shoes/socks off, noticed a small blister just above the nail and partially under (minimally). Can you tape the toe, etc? I don't want to be getting a blister there during a marathon...I've heard that toe caps can be more pain than they are worth (sliding off mid-run, etc).<br /> HELP!! </p>
