NSFW (slightly graphic) how tf is this supposed to heal...

...when the skin that grows back keeps getting rubbed off?

pic of ankle with some surface level skin missing, beware

I don't even remember how I got it

better cut the foot off before it spreads

Disinfect it - two / three times
Soak in HOT water for 5 / 10 mins
Apply anti-fungal cream / powder

Start wearing socks ffs.

I am wearing socks, but I figured that the constant friction might do more harm than good.

I could put a band-aid on it though.

I kept picking off the scabs on my mosquito bites and it ended up healing with really thin really brown skin

Moleskin

Put a bandage over it very firmly to keep it from getting rubbed constantly. Replace it at lest once a day and disinfect when you do.

Moleskin

I don't have that but I have sterile dressings (made of gauze), band-aids and surgical tape. I also have chlorhexidine for disinfection (but the bottle is almost empty now).

I currently have a large band-aid secured with some extra surgical tape on it, I can switch to sterile dressings. I'll continue to disinfect/clean it gently (but not scrub it of course) and apply new dressings.

I'll have to buy new medical alcohol soon.

You might need new shoes then.

Good and comfortable shoes should not be doing that to your feet.

I guess I shouldn't be wearing converse when walking down the steep cobblestone streets to the campus huh

I think that might be the reason actually.

I have more ergonomic shoes (sort of loafers-esque) and I usually don't wear the converse if I have to walk in the steeper slopes, but if I have short pants on I can't wear the ergonomic ones unless I want to look like a member of the hitler jugend.

I had one of those before, but it was on the back of my heel. I changed my shoes and it healed after about a week and a bit.

Jono · September 18, 2018, 02:33:19 AM

Looks like you need bigger shoes

read that as "the back of my head" and was thoroughly confused how changing shoes helped

velox · September 18, 2018, 06:46:13 AM

It's gotten slightly smaller, so I guess the skin grows in from the side instead of layer by layer across the whole thing.

It's also not as wet anymore, so I think the dressings work better than the band-aids.

Dietrich Six · September 18, 2018, 06:41:24 PM

Just leave it alone my guy, it'll heal by itself if you stop messing with it.

Thanks, it's healing fine

Zonda · September 22, 2018, 08:36:01 AM

Why have you not put a patch on that already? The friction from shoes and socks won’t be doing you any favours.

Zonda · September 22, 2018, 08:36:53 AM

Also related note, had a scabbing patch of skin in my buttcrack that hasn’t healed in 3 years and I’m only just now seeing a doctor about it rip

1. I have been wearing patches and changed them daily since posting this
2. Can't really get a good photo of the wound if it's covered up
