I have a blister on my heel, one on each foot. They're on the bottom of my feet, towards my heel.

I have already popped them with a (sterilized) needle, put some anti-nastiness cream on it, and put on band aids.

What else should I be doing? I really need to be able to run on Wednesday and Thursday for Lacrosse, so I want to make them better asap!

Try buying socks that are made out of moisture-wicking fabric (not cotton). That helped immensely with my blisters. Turns out that your feet sweat a lot--more than you'd expect. If all that moisture stays trapped in your socks, it can cause blisters. I got Nike's Dri-Fit socks, but there are lots of different brand out there.

If you don't have good, well-fitting shoes, consider upgrading your shoes as well.

Why did you get the blisters? I find it really helps to put a big patch of moleskin on the blister area and it prevents it from coming back/ getting worst, and also to use synthetic moisture-wicking socks as opposed to cotton varieties.

I got the blisters from a new pair of sandals. I was taking a walk and of course they started hurting when I was really far from home, so I had to wear them all the way back.

For next time, you'll probably heal faster using something like Spenco's blister kit. IIRC it's not supposed to be used once the blisters are popped.

I buy those Band-Aids for blisters, they've got some sort of stuff in them that makes it feel a lot better and not re-form. They're pretty pricey, though, so I save them for occasions where I really need to be able to be on my feet.

Thanks guys! I kept band-aids on all day but now I'm just going barefooted and I'm feeling so much better!
