I am in Germany for my cousin’s wedding and have run out of bandages. I didn’t pack enough Meplex Bandages, I brought the amount I typically use at home but forgot to take into account often having more wounds and blisters while on the road!
You can watch the full video here or down below.
All you need is to go to a pharmacy or store and get a sock. Or even better if you have packed an extra pair you don’t mind cutting up. You can get creative and match the colour or pattern to your outfit. It is the most ideal if that sock is 100% cotton so it is breathable and your wound does not overheat.
After cutting the sock from right above the heal, I then start to apply the cream to the area. I personally have had great success with Fucidin cream. It has a mild anti-biotics and helps blisters and wounds heal quickly. I then apply gauze that sticks to the cream and makes it easier to slide the sock bandage over.
