Blood blister treatment

[ErinKC]

Make a list of every question and worry you've had about it:

1. Could this be nodular melanoma?
2. How long should it take to heal?
3. How should I used the cream to help it heal?
4. Should I put a bandaid on it or leave it open?
5. Will the cream make it change color?
6. Should I have it removed?
7. Do you think it's a blood blister or something else?
8. What are the other things it could possibly be?
9. What should it feel like while it's healing - soft, painful, itchy, hard, etc...?
10. Could it be caused by the pregnancy? By stress?

And anything else you've been worried about. Read back over this thread and see everything you've worried about and write it down and ask.

so I went, she said it was a blood blister/callous, the hard skin is healing and if I could air it out it would have gone a while ago but given its location its tricky. She said to leave it alone, the sulphate paste is useless because it's draw pus and this doesn't and hasn't had pus. She suggests using a heavy duty foot cream to soften it.

Great new! Do you feel better?

[helenhoo]

I do, she was nice like a friends mom who tells you like it is. She looked at me like a bellend but with pity, she said she knew how bad health anxiety is
I've also chased my therapy federal as I haven't heard anything back yet.

It's good that you feel much more reassured after talking to her. Re your baby though helen..aren't you overdue? You were saying earlier in the thread that were actually due at the end of September. What has your midwife or gyne said?

Helen hasn't been online for 4 days, I wonder if she had her baby. Can't help but think about her. I hope she checks in soon to let us know how she's doing.

It is awesome news that you are both free of the cancer worry, and even better news you are taking the anxiety to task and going for therapy.

Well done!

hi everyone, thought I'd post to update. I am enjoying motherhood and had almost anxiety free few months. It has crept back occasionally, usually on days where i feel well.

Just wanted a non HA query regarding the callous blister, I have left it well alone and now it is peeling away at the edges. My question is whether this is normal process for blood blister/callous and if so, shall I peel it or let it be?

just leave it alone to heal and congratulations.

Let it drop off naturally I would have thought. If you pick to early and it hasn't finished healing underneath it just prolongs it.

Congratulations on your new baby! I'm sure we are all very pleased to hear everything is well and the anxiety is also taking a backseat
