I have a cut which looks like somebody has taken a slice with as sharp knife and removed the skin from the back of my heel as it meets the base of the achilles. Did it racing in a brand new pair of shoes Tuesday night or something got in there and rubbed - it was an extremely wet, muddy race so never really saw the injury until I got home and got hosed down. Very pianful to walk anywhere but better without shoes. Thing is - it's never going to heal that quick and I have a long (17 mile) race on Sunday. Quite happy not to run until then but I need to dress it so it doesn't hurt. Aim is to do the race without (much) pain not to heal the cut (although bearing in mind Langdale horseshoe coming up ...) so ... I have tried Compeed but just get a big white lump of (is it called?) exudation in the middle. I've just bought plastic skin spray, more Compeed and got some very sticky tape - any bright ideas out there?
