Old blood blisters

I go ahead and post this here as well as in the Doc-forum for all you hobby-Docs!





Hello there, Mikael, new member from Sweden here!

Got a question about some old blood blisters that i managed to create a week ago.

Been running barefoot for about 6 months and these are the first bloody ones i've got after a 6km run last wednesday. First i thought it was due to the cold (around 0 Celsius that day) but i then figured it had to be from a few extra speedy laps on a local track with slappy form and to much pushing off. Didn't notice them until afterwards...silly.

I left them untouched and rested for 3-4 days, when nothing seemed to disappear i decided to drain them a few days later and got some blood out that hadn't been "coagulated(??)"

Not all though, as you can see





Actually, I don't have any big problems with them now a week later but i'm curious how long it can take for the body to make them "go away" ? Since then, I have now run a few times both with and without shoes for a few kilometers and it felt good.

Any ideas? Thank you!

Yeah, i expressed myself

Yeah, i expressed myself poorly there, i meant the opposite I saw that he "hobby-docs" phrase should've been placed earlier in the sentence!

Take care!

I have gotten small ones from

I have gotten small ones from stepping on rocks. It seems to take a long time for them to rise to the surface and eventually just wear off. I think it took at least a month, maybe two.

I got some pretty brutal

I got some pretty brutal blisters in my first BArefoot 4 mile on asphalt. Is it my form, or is it just a thing that happens?
