ewww.....
I had a bad blister that I decided to run 3 miles on anyway. Stupid... I know.
I got home and saw that it looked massively infected. I had a 2-3 inch red border all the way around it. I poked it, excepting typical yellowish tinted puss to flow out.
Nope.
Key Lime Pie Yogurt. That's what it was. A nice yellowish green, and as thick as yogurt. I had to, sort of, "squeeze" it out of the blister like you would a packet of ketchup.
It's all good though. I cut all the dead skin off with my trusty Swiss Army Knife, doused it a few times in hydrogen peroxide, slapped some ointment on, and bandaged it up. It hurts still, but it's WAY better than it was last night.

Keep an eye out for red lines following veins back to your heart, I nearly died from blood poisoning with a blister like that on my heal when I was in the Army!
Will do, thanks.
I talked to my doctor, and I've been applying triple antibiotic ointment and changing the bandage every 3 hours. It looks and feel much better already.
