Yeah, popping it will open you to infection.

mole skin @StrawberryArmada

and yes don't pop it

prevent any more friction moleskin is the best way to do that if its on your foot

Also I thought mole skin was for preventative measures.

Ohhh, that is what you had in mind.

its more for after the fact but can be used for both

you cut a hole the size of the blister in the moleskin and place it on preventing any more friction while allowing the blister to breath and heal

@Louis Loire - NY that's something I never even considered for my bag. Mole skin.

"Don't pop it"

Immediately pops

Don't freak out about it, I have had em popped and have had other horrifying things open to infection. Just clean it about twice a day, especially when you come home. @StrawberryArmada

Just soap and water?

Yeah it's what I most of the time use.

Neosporin too if you got it.

just be a man and use alcohol or witch hazel

don't worry about it but blisters on the back of your heel can get infected easily

Or that.

Once blister open the pocket is a site for infection. Usually want to debride extra skin, keep wound dry and clean

No reason to use alcohol over less painful peroxide

I'd just use that once, then soap and water after

Any good remedy for cauliflower ear? Just ice?

@Deleted User if I remember correctly you can drain it before it solidifies or whatever tf happens but Google how to before you take my word for it. Mileage may vary.

Dean lister has a great video in how to drain it on YouTube bro... @Deleted User

On*^

Thanks guys

Anyone here know anything about improvised antibiotics? Wanting some for my bug out/medical kit. I guess I could throw In some used ones the next time I get a script but I've heard fish tank antibotixs are similar to cypro and safe for human consumption

@Deleted User yes actually fish antibiotics are the same as the ones they give to mammals. Just make sure you take a high enough dose for long enough. An infection coming back is bad news bears.

@Deleted User also try your local farmers coop

Who can put me in the medic lessons thread?

I was a corpsman, does that count lol

Can we get some CPR stuff posted in there? One of the better places to start. @Brandon Ironside- ND
