The cuticles seem fine, but I'm worried that the nail will break off, leaving the toe exposed. it feels a bit sore, too. I've only just started pointe work and wouldn't want to stop now. Any ideas of what to do, anyone? My big toe nails have startedto look awful and have split way down near the base of the nail.

Is draining the fluid from blisters okay to do? I'm not sure on that.

Heels and pinky toes seem to be common areas. You can use first aid tape, athletic tape, and even hockey tape(it's cheaper). If you happen to get a blister, a product called 2nd skin is very soothing for it. It is generally for burns. It comes in pieces that you can cut up and applie to your toes, but make sure you tape around it as there is no adhesive on it. You will find 2nd skin in the first aid section of the pharmacy.

I suspect it would hurt like billy - oh! to do that too.

Jen my ballet teacher has really ugly looking feet when they’re not in ballet shoes or pointe shoes, because of all the calluses and grown over blisters. I think one time she said she had a similar situation to you, and she said she puts metholated spirits on it to help dry it up. I don’t know if this would help in your situation though.

Is draining the fluid from blisters okay to do? I'm not sure on that.

The cuticles seem fine, but I'm worried that the nail will break off, leaving the toe exposed. it feels a bit sore, too. I've only just started pointe work and wouldn't want to stop now.

Heels and pinky toes seem to be common areas. You can use first aid tape, athletic tape, and even hockey tape(it's cheaper). If you happen to get a blister, a product called 2nd skin is very soothing for it. It is generally for burns. It comes in pieces that you can cut up and applie to your toes, but make sure you tape around it as there is no adhesive on it. You will find 2nd skin in the first aid section of the pharmacy.
