Split skin on ball of foot

[regexcellent]

What the hell do I do about this? It's making it irritating to walk. The skin somehow just split open, it's like, a third of an inch wide and kinda deep (but not bleeding at all). The skin is all calloused. I've been putting up with it for a few days, figuring it'll heal but it's not healing.

You're the new Albie, aren't you, with all your injuries?

Go to a ****ing doctor, just don't go directly to ER this time.

[C0ckney]

from the symptoms you describe, it appears that amputation is the only solution.

I think Jesus is trying to tell you to slow down your hectic pace and spend a few hour in front of your computer updating Dead Pool. Jesus is being subtle this time....

...just don't go directly to ER this time.

Well there goes the only correct response to the OP.

Forget about swift healing. It'll just grow out over the next 2-3 weeks.

If you're about to do some insane hike on it, there are some classic Bloke Fixes. Some swear by superglue, but it just doesn't hold together on me. Duct tape works as a quick fix.

One small word of warning. If the split goes quite deep, superglue can sting like a mother****er.

Good advice from Bugs here.

Yes, but of the head.


Perhaps his foot has developed a mind of its own and is feeling splittist tendencies ? I wonder if it's the left foot....

Tomorrow it will be occupied by totally not Russian nanomilitia to ensure a peaceful secession referendum.

Thanks, I'll just wait for it to go away then.

Is this a split in the callus, or does it go deeper w/o bleeding? If it's just split callus, that might not mean anything at all, aside from feeling tender. Thick callus can do that without anything being wrong.

Hi you guise AAHZ here.

I just wanted to say how important this thrade is to me and how dePendent I am on it for my mental and PhysicKal well Being. If i didn't read this thrade at the right time my life would have turned out tragicKally differently. So thank you for making this thrade OP. THANK YOU.

I am now going to do some jumPing jacKs, go for a long jog, and then randomly stomP my feet into the ground many times just to enjoy the feeling.

You can speed things up by using a pumice stone on it or if you have a few bucks go in for a pedicure as they have special devices jus for removing callouses and for fixing people's foot problems.
