Got stuck going in and out of the storm the other day and had to keep my suit on all day. Shoes got soaked a few times and my socks got wet.

I now have dozens of blisters on each foot all over the bottoms and in between the toes. It's absolutely killing me. Did some peroxide and neosporin last night but can't sleep because of the burning pain. Any tips? I'm desperate

Gross.

Run an electric sander over your feet and then soak them in alcohol.

I would get some Aquaphor Healing Skin Ointment and apply .Try and stay off your feet.Do this for a few nights it should help heal your feet. Take some tylenol for pain. good luck

. Soak in salt water for a while, maybe? Use moleskin if you have to wear shoes. Ibuprofen for pain, or something stronger if you have it. That's all I got.

Get some new skin and gauze wrap. That's all you can do till they heal.

A blister or two where the wet shock rubbed against the skin because of you shoe would be understandable. You have some other problem going on. What kind of socks were they and where did they come from? What kind of shoes were you wearing? I'm also thinking there was some type of chemical in the water that caused this. You need to see a doctor very soon.

ETA: some type of chemical may have leached out of you shoes that caused this. Definitely does not sound normal. RN here FYI.

ETA2: do you remember a while back when flip flops from China were causing burns to peoples feet? This about 3-4 years ago, sold at walmart and dollar stores.

Did you not see Forrest Gump? Take care of your feet and keep an extra pair of dry socks.

I was wearing normal dress socks and leather Cole Haan loafers. It was pouring and I had several stops throughout the day. They must've gotten wet early and I was too busy to notice that they never got completely dry.

Socks, cushion, sole, O.D. green. The Mekong will eat a grunt's feet right off his legs.

You need to get some sort of waterproof footwear for rainy days.

I like Gore-Tex lined hiking shoes. Others recommend duck boots.

It may be a staph infection.

In addition to hydrogen peroxide, try soaking in warm water with Epsom salt.
