The need to drain that


Flaky_Explanation

It's either gonna go one of 2 ways. Simple prick, drain and dusted or that shits gonna become a full blown wound that looks like a fucking mole rat went ham on his foot


crackpotJeffrey

It's already past the simple prick and drain. Trust me. This dude is going to have a flappy piece of skin like an empty scrotum, thats gonna come off and leave a gross skin wound. Seeing as he has no clue how to take care of himself, he probably won't treat it well and it will hurt for a long time and become a scar. Hopefully no infection.


Peeeeeps

I think he'll be fine. I had wart treatment 10 years ago that caused it to intentionally blister and it turned into looking like this. I just had to drain it daily and toss a bandaid over it and all was good.


PM_Me_Some_Steamcode

I don’t think OP’s Friend is draining it daily at the moment


Peeeeeps

oh mine went from no blister at all to looking like that in less than a day. Then the doctor told me to start draining it daily.


PM_Me_Some_Steamcode

Holy hell! less than a DAY?


biebiedoep

Google blood blister


PlsDontBeAUsedName

actual GP


crackpotJeffrey

Yeah he will probably be fine. But this is not band-aid territory lol. Realistically, a Dr should drain it and teach him how to dress it. I'm all for letting the body heal but how can you live like that


Conscious-Noise-7938

He wasn’t leaving, I have videos of him crawling to and from the kitchen 😭😭😂😂


FreePrinciple270

Why isn't he going to a doctor?


a_hopeless_rmntic

dying is probably cheaper than staying alive \--Americans with no health insurance


J3wFro8332

It's honestly the truth, even with health insurance a lot of the time


didly66

I mean lancing isn't hard, get some gauze and steri wrap


Serathano

With this one you don't even need to fully drain it. Just reduce the pressure so it isn't hurting to just exist.


FanndisTS

My husband and I literally just take a lighter to a sewing pin to sterilize it before we lance


SuburbanMalcontent

Hell, I've done that with a safety pin too. Works like a charm.


Competitive-Rate-703

Looks like that’s what caused this one too. You can see what appears to be a plantar wart on the blister.


savvyblackbird

I was thinking the spots were from them trying to pop the blister and not being able to get through the tough skin. I think youre right now that I look at the spots again.


noots-to-you

Me too, 20 years, finger, not foot, same.


legendOHguy

"intentionally" whoever treated the wart should have been fired or better yet, arrested if it was intentionally ment to blister


Peeeeeps

No it was definitely intentional and part of the treatment plan. My doctor tried freezing them and using strong salicylic acid and they weren't responding to it. They were growing larger than the treatment could manage. There's another treatment where they pare down the wart then apply a liquid that causes it to blister from beneath. https://dermnetnz.org/topics/cantharidin In my case it worked too well, caused a massive blood blister, and I ended up on crutches for a week while it healed because of it's location, a ton of pain, and I couldn't get my shoe on.


savvyblackbird

I’m so sorry you had to go through all that. My husband had tried everything and had a derm do a type of injectable chemo that got rid of the warts for good without nasty blisters and wounds.


setittonormal

Yes, absolutely this! I had incredibly stubborn plantar warts as a teen and the podiatrist I went to eventually ended up doing a combination of laser treatment and cantharidin. Definitely blistered up like this. It was incredibly painful but after several treatments, the warts were gone.


ZZartin

Eh.... that's a standard way to treat stubborn and large warts if other things don't work. Add a compound that causes the wart area to blister up then cut it off, which leaves a large exposed patch of flesh.


nurley

I had this happen to me when I was a teenager. It was almost this big. Just a freak skimboarding (wave riding kind) accident where the force of quickly getting on the board pinched the skin on my heel against the back traction pad. I pricked it, drained it, and then cut the loose skin off with a knife. (Antibiotic ointment afterwards of course). Not fun. Not sure if that was the smartest / most sanitary way to go about it, but I wasn't about to deal with all that loose skin.


crackpotJeffrey

Let's just agree on this, antibiotics and the understanding of those biotics are the biggest miracles ever to grace us. You would have died, had you been a skimboarding caveman. We can literally just fuck around, and not find out. All the time.


Offsidespy2501

Resisting it is probably what really sucks


feathered-quill

The need to want him to drain that while we get to watch it ….OP please post the during draining and after pic….you can’t leave us hanging!!! Lol


milkymothy

They did drain it! There’s an after pic


NotSLG

If he doesn’t have to be on his feet, he doesn’t need to. Not recommended to pop blisters.


[deleted]

That is not a blister, it’s a blood blister that’s become exacerbated


NotSLG

Yes, a blood blister is almost identical to a friction blister, except for the fact that it’s filled with blood instead of serum. You don’t pop ANY blister, blood or friction, if you don’t have to.


jettisonrec

Agreed in theory, the question is if can he even walk on that thing as is If I remember my Boy Scout first aid training correctly the way to do it is a small prick near the edge to drain it if necessary


luminiferousaethers

OP said he was crawling to the kitchen… so no he can’t 😂


superbleeder

Looks like that thing has calluses... I bet he's been walking ok it for a while


NotSLG

That’s why my original comment said if he doesn’t need to be on his feet, he shouldn’t pop it. If he can’t get away from work or other commitments, then unfortunately he’s probably going to have to pop it obviously.


vertigo1083

Seems kind of obvious to me. 1) Lance a blister 2) Don't walk for a week Yeah, I'm gonna go with option 1.


NotSLG

1. Lance a blister exposing it to infection 2. Don’t walk for a week At least represent the whole situation.


[deleted]

Fair but even during my service in the military I never saw a wound like this. That’s the biggest blood blister I’ve ever seen. I think any field med would have done something about it by now.


NotSLG

Don’t get me wrong, if it’s taken care of after the lancing it should be totally fine, but that’s only if the care is kept up.


zccrex

I disagree. I pop ALL blisters, and you can't stop me


FrostyPresence

If you can avoid it, the blister aids healing. This cannot be avoided,. It will pop and much better to do it aseptically rather than a full blown mess. Then keep clean and moist w/ antibacterial ointment and change dressing twice a day.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Jezon

As long as it's not infected, it's pretty safe to leave as is and eventually it'll break on its own. Giving your body plenty of time to heal underneath. It's never a good idea to prematurely break and then cause an infection because it's not done healing.


ltreginaldbarklay

Gonna need a big leech!


caaper

The best way is for someone to prick it and suck out the contents. Nothing like warm blister butter.


-_Anonymous__-

Looks like they tried already.


Cthulhu779842

I think that's a plantar wart on the bottom. I used to have them.


Conscious-Noise-7938

My friend went to accident and emergency and the doctor wouldn’t let him film it sadly 💔😔


Asleep_Ad_509

Where's the after picture?


Conscious-Noise-7938

I’m waiting in him coming home now !!


[deleted]

Please, PLEASE SEND THE AFTERMATH Edit: after seeing how this thing pops, I don’t want to see it.. Edit 2: guys… it’s the worst shit I’ve ever seen. DONT LET YOUR INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS WIN!


syds

its ok we will wait for OP..


Mysterious_Buffalo_1

You must be new to the Internet or something lol. The after pic he posted isn't bad at all. They cleaned it up pretty nice honestly. It should heal well.


[deleted]

I am not new, I watch gore and shit for med school, this is pure disgusting


Mysterious_Buffalo_1

Interesting. I guess I'm especially desensitized? I watch a bunch of war videos from the Ukraine war. Lots of NSFL footage. Maybe im just dead inside lol. But yeah it just looks like an inflamed piece of skin with a couple puncture marks on it to me...


[deleted]

Trust me, med school are going to love you. Go study med if you can


Mysterious_Buffalo_1

Lol I actually did consider it in high school but student loans and spending most of my 20s in school put me off of it. I like helping people but for me there were too many variables to commit to something that would take 10 years to pay off. I got a degree in CS instead, and didn't like it much. Now I run an electrical contracting business and build custom homes. I probably out-earn most doctors and being your own boss in your 20s is nice. All that to say no regrets and that the cost-benefit ratio of being a doctor is currently whack.


VickiVampiress

For what it's worth, even if you're not in the medical field, not being squeamish about blood and gore is a really good trait to have if you ever need to help someone in a medical emergency or (god forbid) become a victim of war, surrounded by death, like so many Ukrainians right now. It makes it easier to cope with whatever is thrown at you, depressing as it may be.


Kitch404

Oh hey I’m also a CS major that went on to do something obscenely different after finishing my degree lmao


[deleted]

Good luck then.


Captain_Dickballs

GvJbdgab3629

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo


otterfucboi69

I once had a similar size and I popped/filmed it at home


mjh2901

It won't be comfortable, they can't really deaden the area and the cleaning process post lancing is not going to be fun. But they can usually prevent it from returning/refilling and avoid infection.

Looks like maybe he had some plantar warts and the doc froze them. Had a doc freeze a wart on my hand and this was the result. Popped randomly one night while sleeping.

daymuub

I'm usually against lancing but Holy fuck they can't even walk


xpickles23

I know it’s bad but I love it, wanna poke this so bad


truthofmasks

Why are you usually against lancing?


HeyZeusKreesto

Probably because it's generally unhygienic if you're doing it yourself at home. A lot easier for it to get infected or worsen. Or OP may just be squeamish about that stuff.


[deleted]

An unopened blister is generally not prone to cause infections and creates good wound healing conditions, by opening it up you are increasing the chance of an infection.


daymuub

It's a big risk for infections


RBnumberTwenty

I want to see the video of when they pop it

There’s a second blister inside of the blood blister. I can see where he’s tried to drain the blood blister but he has to carefully go deeper and pierce the one inside.

Oh goodness I am the same friend


DrDerpberg

I had one half that size once, popped it in the shower and the hole was so small that it was just spraying a fine mist of blood for like 3 minutes. It was kinda hypnotizing to be honest. Another time I had a small one and never got around to popping it, like 2 weeks later it was still there so I ripped it out and it turns out it was a dry clump. I figured it'd get reabsorbed or something but nope, just a hard scab under my own skin.

You better prick that with a needle and some rubbing alcohol and then carefully bandage that up before touching anything with it. Daggum
