I've recently been getting blisters on the tips of my toes, and I'm not really sure why. Does anyone else get blisters on their feet or toes?

I noticed this about 4 years ago right before Winter, and it's been happening every winter since then. I sleep with a heating blanket for the last part of fall and all of Winter, and I initially thought that might have been what caused it, but I also use the blanket during the spring and fall, and I don't get them then. They're just little bulbs and they're really tender, but they don't fill up with water or puss. It just feels and looks like swelling. I don't keep my shoes on longer than normal or change my diet, either.

I don't do anything different during the seasons, with the exception of the blanket and taller socks, so I'm wondering what the heck might be causing them or if anyone else has had something similar?

Sounds like chilblains. See HERE

I've been getting them every winter since my leg muscles started packing up. I think it is a combination of things: poor circulation, tight socks, tight shoes, and cooler weather.

I found that my socks were getting pulled tight over my toes when I slid my feet into shoes and I'm sure that this was the main cause for me.

I bought shoes two sizes up and have been wearing thick, loose, woollen socks. It looks a bit like I'm wearing the boxes the shoes came in, but there is now no pressure at all on my feet, and so far this year I've been OK. I've also invested in some UGGs (the real Oz ones) for when it gets really cold

Go see a Podiatry care nurse "foot doctor" and start using the correct dressings ie Lyofoam
For the last 2 years I have had toe ulcers and we now have a care plan that starts when they erupt

The first sign is when the weather changes and gets colder.
The skin will brighten and get thin. Black patches will begin to form under the skin and erupt as a ulcer which can be so severe the hole can reach the bone,after all it's not far away.
Then it's a cource of antibiotics and continual change of dressings for 5 months.
At best it was 2 toes and at worst 7 toes.

They are not chill blains or pressure sores. Dispite having this appearance.
People with diabitas have a similar problem

Because they take so long to heal and the healing process is slow, they are proberbly due to the fact that our blood supply to our extremities is poor.

I start wearing socks continually from October. I expect the eruption to accour November/December
Change dressings every 2/3 days until they start to heal in Febuary

Please remember that these are open wounds are suseptable point of entry for many bugs - so do not take this matter lightly.

Don't mean to scaremonger - just explaining my experiances and hoping yours are better
In the first year it happened we "Doctors nurses and foot nurse" looked at everything from heating, cleanleness, and shoes.
The only thing that maks any sence is blood supply because those leg muscels don't realy exist anymore

Hope my remarks help
