Toe

So, I just looked in the memories and did the LJ search and found my own entry about a split toenail. That issue is now under control. But another has popped up

I find some simple talc or cornstarch powder between my toes really helps to stop the blisters from even starting. Try that?

second this comment. This helps a LOT when I'm running (talc anyway, haven't tried cornstarch)

Me too! Both the bandages and the weird toes issue. ;)

And to the OP: 'moleskin' works great any time you want to prevent a blister. (It's some synthetic stuff you can get at the drugstore, no actual skinning of little critters involved.)

Go to your local pharmacy and ask for gel toe separators; these are little tubes which slip over the toe and stop it rubbing. My friend is a podiatrist and highly recommends these.

Weirdly enough, I have this exact problem (same toe) and it just started THIS YEAR. Usually a callous, this year with blisters under it. Weird coincidence.
