Hello - my apologies for the gruesome description below :)
I've got a pretty bad blister on my big toe outside edge that was popped, and the skin turned into a 'flapper', so I cut the flap off. There's now a sort of cliff wall of thick skin that drops down to thin skin that was below the blister. The cliff wall is not securely attached, and I'm worried that if exacerbated, it will continue to peel away.
Okay, end of the gross description.
I'm 6 weeks from a marathon, and I'm not fit enough to slow down my training very much. What tips, tricks, sorceries, and tactics do you all use to keep training when you have an unprotected blister like this?
I've tried covering the blister with expensive blister pads, blister prevention tape, and those seem to come off. I've taken to covering the blister with a blister pad, and then wrapping the whole toe in a bandage.
Please help!
