I have a blister from golf shoes?

Question

I was doing 18 holes the other day and got a blister from my shoes. The thing is, it wasn't a normal blister. It didn't fill with liquid or anything, or even hurt. It was as if a section of my skin had been pulled down and bunched up near the bottom of my foot. I soaked it for awhile, put some band-aids on it and now I'm letting it air out for the night. The skin isn't bunched anymore, but looks like it moved back to it's normal spot on my heel. I don't know how to treat it, and a bit of the skin ripped so that it's open now.

I just think it's weird it doesn't hurt at all. I'd like to know how to treat it, though. Should I put more band-aids on it in the morning?

Answer 1

Yes, do put band-aids on the broken skin.  It may not be a problem now but it could become one since you will be applying friction to the area when you wear the shoes again.

Answer 2

Well, the soles of the feet are usually quite callused, which probably explains both the odd appearance of the blister and why you aren't experiencing much pain.

To treat it, put some neosporin or another antibacterial ointment on it to protect it from infection. Neosporin also contains an analgesic, so that will numb the area (helpful if it does start hurting). Put a band-aid over it during the day and uncover it at night to let it air out.
