I put it to you that the only medkit you need /out/ (short of an IFAK) is ZO and some med-tape.

I just tape my wounds.. Any sort of skin condition gets the tape or ZO really. If i had some huge laceration? I'd tape it. Alternatively use toilet paper for gauze and.. You guessed it; tape it.

/out/ there's three kinds of skin problems:
- burns (sun or heat)
- allergic
- friction & cuts

ZO is an all purpose skin protectant, it will treat all of those. Tape just works better for burns & cuts & friction. The only real problems you'll have /out/ that you can actually TREAT out are skin problems.

Chafing thighs? Lose some fucking weight and ZO it.
sunburned? That's ZOs whole fucking deal.
Got a blister? Pop and tape it.
Got to prevent a blister? ZO it.
Got a cut? Tape and leave it on till it heals.
Burn yourself? Tape it until it heals.
Got a wasp sting? ZO it.

The #1 reason for having it. Not as good as monkebutt or aquaphor but it do work that's what this shit originally was for.

Bro, what usually causes blisters? Friction.. What happens to the friction when the skin swells up even more? Any hiker worth their salt pops and tapes blisters on their feet when they get them.

kek that pic is gold. I always heard not to pop them. You should cut a hole a lil bigger than the blister in some moleskin, then stick the part that has a hole in it onto your foot with the blister in the middle of the hole you cut out. Popping leads to infections, which in the backcountry, can turn serious.

I can attest to that. I had a huge one on my heel a few weeks ago on vacay and popped it, and sure enough it got infected. I ended up having to squirt Neosporin into the hole where I popped it. It still took days to heal.

I've known about this for some time for chafing, but don't often bring it. Another popular option I just found out about is corn starch. As far as chafing I think just keeping yourself clean is the best solution. Bring a little dropper bottle of dr bronner's and be sure to keep up with trouble areas. Catch it before it becomes a problem. Then no need for after care.

Starch is better for chafing, but zinc is better for itching.

Maybe in super tropical environments or something where infections are more serious risk, I've popped dozens and dozens without any sort of problem, the tape also keeps shit from getting into the blister. I do use a sterile sowing needle though, maybe that's why I've lucked out.

I hope you sterilize the skin of the blister, or else you are creating a very bad puncture wound, shoving skin bacteria deep into the wound.

Lol who the hell would stab themselves even deeper to pop a blister, you pop through a wall of dead skin into a bunch of pus, neither of which are the wound

Why wouldn't you just put on a blister bandage when you start feeling a hotspot on your foot? Popping seems risky

Because ANY friction makes the blister get bigger. Popping and taping them means they don't grow and they don't hurt either.. If you're proactive you get them while they're still the size of a quarter of a dime.. If you can get an infection with that small of a wound you should probably get off trail and get your HIV treated

Ah, I didn't know that. I handle bug bites pretty well and I'm immune to poison ivy so chafing is really my only concern. But, still good to know. Thanks

Holy shit anon. If you have to tape your feet up that much you may want to reevaluate your footwear. I get some blisters on my toes here and there, but I don't even really care at this point. I just keep hiking and they harden up eventually. I don't deal with anything even remotely close to the condition of your foot in that photo.

unsterile gauze is almost always used to tape up wounds except during surgery and even then the taping process is usually done only semi sterily. that's because your skin is full of bacteria already, if you have any wound its full of bacteria too.. Ofcourse don't put any dirty gauze on it but a clean nonsterile gauze isn't gonna be any worse than a sterile one.

If you get a fungal infection like jock itch or whatever you can't use that as a treatment. You'd need some kind of dry antifungal powder. As a person who's gone through jock itch and having had ointments on hand instead of antifungals I was very unhappy with the outcome.
