I am still having problems getting the biggest and first lump, that appeared sometime in Jan 2009, to heal and the abrasion from my undergarment is not helping either. The solid lump feels about 1 cm in diameter and the skin is always red and raw and sometimes bleeding. I had read that if it does not heal it is probably cancerous. With my condition, I am not ruling that out.
I have been using 'gel blister plaster' from Watsons to protect it and aid in healing. Recently, I have also applied Germolene antiseptic cream on it whenever I changed the blister plaster.
The 'gel blister plaster' is actually meant for the foot to protect and help in blister healing caused by footwear. However, my skin is very sensitive to all other kinds of plasters and I had no better alternative.
A friend had recommended duoderm wafer. However, the thin one does not provide sufficient cushion and the thick one gets all soggy after a shower. The duoderm wafer also comes in a big piece and I had to cut it down to size.
Guardian also has its own brand of blister plaster, but it is thinner and smaller and does not provide enough cushion.
