Day 1



Day 2 or 3



Day 4



And now Day 6... looking fabulous I must say.



At least it doesn't really hurt anymore but this blister seriously looks ready to blow but I'm resisting poking it with a needle. I must say they do look worse, not better in person unlike people selling corals.

thats a contact dermatitis. Allergic reaction, prob to bristle worm, did you see any little white hairs & did it sting at all?

No but I did see one in the dipping container when I was fragging. I think I did see the hairs but they are so fine and I may have been imagining it. That's my guess also ...

So I shouldn't pop the blister right? I'm going to the river this weekend don't want any kind of infection so thinking I should just leave it.

Try an antihistamine if you arent allegic to it (claratin or something similar)
